You'd be surprised how many people in the West are sympathetic/victims of Russia propaganda. Trump-supporters still have a very strong influence in US elections, and currently Republicans on Fox News, like Tucker Carlson are doing everything they can to trash the Biden administration. This year, they'll say the Democrats are making money off the war in Ukraine and that the Democrats are Chinese agents with some large scheme involving Ukraine and destroying the USA. Next year, if Ukraine wins the war, the Republicans will claim the Democrats didn't do enough to help Ukraine. Many current Western politicians, including Biden and the Democrats are trying to appear as "moderate" so they don't lose supporters to the opposition or worse, those sympathetic to the Russians. Politics in western democracies is often damaging to the nation because of politicians want to stay in power or gain power, they have to appeal to the general public's view or try to sway it. You'll notice opposition political parties (at least in the USA) change their narratives and stances all the time just to try to unseat the current political party. That's my theory as to why the West doesn't do more for Ukraine. I also believe from a military standpoint, NATO is slowly trying to convert the Ukrainian military to NATO standards and equipment which can't happen over night. 10,000 tanks are useless if you can only train 500 soldier to operate them every month.
