If they committed more then words maybe, the reality is that the national parliaments for the most part aren't willing to commit significant resources to the Ukrainian cause.
If the EU were to actually mobilize(which is not on the agenda) it would be more then a match for Russia but thats not actually whats being discuses at the EU level because that requires buy in from the national parliaments for tax raises and austerity programs not seen since the last war to end all wars.
At most what's being discussed is a expeditionary army of at most 1/10th the size of the current Ukrainian force(which pealed at around 900k men about a year ago), and the Ukrainian army isnt some 3rd world paper force armed with 2nd rate equipment but an force that rivals anything currently in existence.
My point is that the EU economy is not being committed to securing an Ukrainian victory, because most of the words are coming from people that have nothing but words to offer.
