We can see some effect of the sanctions right now, and it's significant. But they didn't stop the war yet, unfortunately. Corruption in the russian army is a bigger stopper than sanctions right now. Maybe sanctions will help to overthrow Putin in 3-7 years, but how expensive this waiting might be for Ukraine? Even if it will take just 1 year - this war created an enormous amount of suffering in 2 weeks, it's difficult even to think about the possible damage from 1 year of the war.
What helps much, much more than sanctions: unmanned aircraft units, Bayraktars. Turkey (a NATO country) helped Ukraine, and I wonder why other countries can not send (without the soldiers) some unmanned aircraft units or F35? They create a really HUGE effect.
If you are reading this and you are a citizen of some western country, please consider asking your representatives, if they can start a discussion about sending such help to Ukraine.
