I read/heard an interesting conspiracy theory the other day: The west didn't want to fully topple the Putin regime in case the power vacuum brought out something worse (Prighozin and his Nazi's armed with nukes).
Perhaps they held back just to grind down the Russian army at the expense of the UA.
I think the US is pretty open about that. They don't want Ukraine to attack Russia, just defend themselves.
