Don't underestimate the significance of Ukrainians being white Europeans. I'm not saying it's right, but being what they are helps Ukrainians capture the attention of the Western world a lot more effectively than victims of wars in the Middle East.

And besides the ethnic/race angle, it's also happening right on the doorstep of NATO, and is being perpetrated by the main adversary NATO exists to counter.
