When the invasion started, the west instituted economic sanctions on Russia. Many at the time said "sanctions won't do anything," despite being told sanctions wouldn't have an impact right away, but they would ultimately hinder Russia's ability to wage war.
Today I am reading about:
1. The fact Ukraine now has more tanks than Russia due to donations from other countries and the obliteration of Russian tanks by drones, Javelins, and NLAWs.
2. The U.S. and France are donating dozens of howitzers and nearly 150k artillery shells (!!!!)
3. Russian factory that produces surface to air missiles had to shut down due to sanctions.
I don't see how Russia can prevail with the industrial might of the west and fighting vigilance of Ukraine coming together as they are.
