Because you don't overrun a nuclear state with weapons, but with influence and the true promise of scaling up.

What influence? The US and EU isn't going to engage with Russia directly in battle. There's no influence to be peddled. Unless the EU and US have something Russian wants, no influence can be peddled.
The truth is, Europeans know that if Ukraine falls nothing will happen to Europeans. There is no existential threat. There has been no national mobilization of industry to support Ukraine's war efforts.
The entire western world over the last 3 years has left Ukraine with a 10-1 artillery disadvantage. It's just not a serious concern for people.
