It is attritting Ukraine, and the West overall, of money, of ammunition, of military equipment, and of credibility.

Slide shows of burning Leapords, burning Bradleys, burning M777s, burning Caesars, etc etc are wonderful in crushing Western military image and buyer interest in Western military equipment.

Ongoing inflation overall in the West; deindustrialization in Germany, food and energy shocks in the UK, etc etc are also eroding Western public's faith in their governments. Western "morality" agitprop is exposed repeatedly as hypocritical - from the "grain deal" where most of the grain went to feed pigs in Spain, to cluster bombs, to now toothless FONOPS threats in the Black Sea even as the 11th? 12th? 20th? sanctions package bounces off Russia like a bb off a battleship.
