The Russian defence industry cannot produce as many shells as their military uses up, and most of the tanks that Russia fields are older models. The Russian military faces problems, with its professional army largely destroyed in the first year of war, it resorts to using waves of untrained conscripts. You can capture cities, but breaking thought in open fields with untrained conscripts against natural and men made defence lines is suicide. Russia doesn't have the strength to achieve the strategic goals in their entirety this year. Like they could not win WWII without the land lease from the US, what they now get from their allies is peanuts what the US gave in WWII. After Stalin the decline of Russia went worse and when Putin toke over the kleptocracy went FUBAR Russia does not need sanctions it is capable to destroy its own economy themselves at the needs of Putin and his gang.
