A counter attack by the US/EU was never on the table, as Ukraine isn’t a NATO member. Some of those nations have provided weapons and supplies for the Ukrainian defense in recent weeks, but from an actual conflict perspective, the Ukrainians are on their own.
The EU/US are attempting to retaliate in non-military ways, primarily through the form of economic sanctions. However, it seems like some of the most impactful actions available, like cutting Russia out of Swift, are being held up by Germany and Italy.
The US and NATO are sending military reinforcements to Eastern NATO nations such as Poland, but they will not actually engage or enter Ukraine so long as Russia doesn’t push through Ukraine into NATO nations, which I don’t think anyone expects.
