Because it wasn't a war of attrition from the beginning? But even then, it's one Ukraine is still losing.
It'd actually be interesting to look into the specifics of how the western media has maintained the narrative that ukraine has been a victim of the evil and powerful Russians while also on the verge of victory versus those same weak Russian orc hordes, needing just a little more aid, for so long without more people catching on.
Similarly for Israels genocide.
Sort of an updated inventing reality
It's easy:
After the last step, most people still don't know the specifics of the situation because you never really informed them and they have other priorities than a war far away that they perceive they have no effect on. They see a story every month or so about another arbitrarily large amount of money getting sent overseas and it just blends into the background; they've seen that story countless times about many countries.
