We're already seeing increased signs that some countries wavering with regard to sanctions and Ukraine's war aims, no doubt acutely aware of the growing economic impact of a prolonged conflict. I suspect the likes of Germany and others thought that the conflict would be over in a matter of weeks with few casualties, with Russia prevailing and then quietening the rhetoric down, meaning that the sanctions agreed would be short-lived.

The question many western governments are now grappling with is are they prepared to crater their economies for the sake of Ukraine? Tricky one that.
