Surely NATO intervening sends the message that they can intervene in any conflict they deem fit, defeating the entire purpose of having countries be a part of it?

If they don't intervene Russia will win by a war of attrition.

From details so far, it seems the Ukranian cities are a lot better supplied for a long term siege than the Russian army.

Also, if it really came to Ukrainians running out of food and water, which again I think the Russians will first because their supply line is terrible, you'd see NATO planes dropping those kind of supplies over the major cities. No way Russia shoots down planes that haven't engaged it first, let alone ones strictly air dropping medical supplies, food, and water bottles.

And if you mean attrition by deaths in combat, then the Ukrainians are proportionally winning that fight against the Russians too.

If this becomes a battle of who can last the longest, Ukraine wins easy.
