It's similar to the USSR invasion of Afghanistan, the west didn't directly interfere but we supplied enough weapons the Mujahideen to make it costly attritional war that the soviets could no longer afford to maintain and were forced to pull out which triggered a whole chain of events that lead to collpast of the Soviet Union.We beat Russia in the Cold War by avoiding direct conflict, I mean I don't disagree with sending small arms to Ukraine, but we need to be clear that Ukraine should fight a defensive war and NATO shouldn't be their military industry because that makes us legitimate targets. These are facts. If we're supplying heavy arms to Ukraine then why aren't we a target?
