War fatigue is something that must be faced. Even in WW2 when every country was fighting to the finish soldiers came home on leave to find their own civilians complain how easy soldiers had it and how hard their life was because they could not get all the butter they needed to cook cakes.
Right now there are thousands dying each day in about 20 wars all over the planet. the Indian Army has been losing around 50 men each day for the last 30 years and probably the Pakistani's likewise many in a dispute that nobody but them cares about in Kashmir. In most of these wars in Africa. Middle East, Asia and South America one side or both believe they are fighting for freedom.
I do not know the answer to keep world attention on Ukraine but as you say it will become harder each day as people see how much support is costing them both financially and socially. There is a limit to which people will go before they start pushing back. All you can hope for is the proximity of the fighting to Western Europe keeps their attention focused. Many see very little threat because for 80 years Russia has been on their doorstep and attacking other countries (Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Georgia, Chechnya etc etc) but always kept it inside their 'sphere of influence" behind what used to be the Iron Curtain and continued since the breakup of USSR. For most people Ukraine comes under this category.
What is making it worse is the poor performance of the Russian military and the probably true belief they are in no position to even annoy NATO let alone stage a successful invasion of Western Europe without resort to nuclear weapons. If that happens it is a whole new game and Ukraine will not even come into the picture.
All we can do is our best to keep reminding people, calling for support and trying to stop any Western country backing away because of the cost. Everybody is with you, we just have to keep saying nothing has changed, the Ukraine cause is right and must be supported to the end despite the high cost.
Keep going Dima we will push your cause.
