Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for around a decade, but only recently has support ramped up to adequate levels. I recall that Germany's initial response to Russia's 2022 invasion was to pledge handing over helmets. The goal of a conflict is to win, and what represents winning really depends on your situation. In Ukraine's position, winning might mean more than forcing out Russia from it's territory. For Ukraine, winning might mean breaking Russia's willingness to continue perpetrating a genocide that's ongoing for around a decade.
