I think there’s that, but also, I heard a compelling argument which may also be true. European and Nato countries continue to supply Ukraine, which may be the most effective counter-measure. Not giving in to Russian provocations directly, but answering with support for Ukraine, which is fighting Russia directly. That support is what Russia ultimately wants to reduce, by disrupting, confusing, and threatening other countries. The seemingly weak responses are certainly deescalating in the direct confrontation, and evades the question of direct confrontation which may split countries and opinions.
