Is the West’s military support enough for Kyiv?

The war in Ukraine has raged for more than two years.

Western allies are in talks over boosting their support to Kyiv in the hope of turning the tide against Russia.

French President Emmanuel Macron has floated the idea of more direct involvement, perhaps even putting troops on the ground.

Could Western powers ever unite behind a move like this? How would Russia react?
