The late 2022 offensive when Ukraine retook Kherson and the Kupiansk area made it seem like they would quickly defeat Russia. It acted as a stop on urgency. The offensive last year created a stalemate that stuck. The fall of Avdivka has shattered any illusions - the Russian offensive and Ukrainian withdrawals have crashed through any remaining reticence.
The Europeans are finally awake.
