Avram > a lot of the initial coordinated cancelling came about while Russia was still seemingly utilizing surgical strikes
for most enlightened nations, an unprovoked war in Europe sounded unbelievable. Western Europeans built up theories that if they engage Rashiim in oil trade, then mutual benefit will lead to peace despite all indications to the contrary. Thus, when their beliefs were shuttered, they had to respond (either because they admitted new reality, or they admitted that their politics was failing and they have to show a change).
This is like Noach who “believed and did not believe” and did not go inside the tevah until water came to his feet. Except that Noach was building the Tevah for 120 years despite not fully internalizing what will happen, but Europeans did not prepare for the worst, including Ukrainians themselves – they had 30 years to put IEDs under the roads and build road blocks. They actually woke up a couple of days in advance, thanking US for the info, and were able to move their equipment from being bombed and block the rail connections.
