No. This entire conflict was a massive entrapment operation by NATO so that the russian economy could be obliterated. Needs a bit more time. This is precisely why NATO has been deliberately sluggish in supplying aid. Once russia collapses you'll see a sudden upsurge in arms and aid for Ukraine because the war will have served its purpose and can be brought to a swift close.

@grendalsnap7158 None of this true. I assume you have not seen russia's recently published budget figures for Jan 23. The are running the highest budget deficit in their history. Their remaing resources will last till Summer at that rate. And after 5th Feb ban on refined energy products it will only get worse. Heck their income tax revenue is now massively in the negative! Their VAT income is down 50% on the previous January (meaning a massive fall in goods and services being purchased inside russia). Their economy is utterly screwed. Saying they are doing OK and better than the EU is absolutely hilarious. It's just their usual propaganda. Do a wee bit research for yourself rather than quoting some russian bot maybe? And for the record, India/China are simply exploiting russia. They are buying under the cap and at a discount. If they sell it on to other countries, russia sees nothing of that sale. In the EU right now, all energy prices are dropping, so yeah we are buying US energy at 5x price. lmao. EU buys precisely zero energy products from russia, India or China. Finally, the sanctions are not responsible for all this. The sanctions hit their imports (of technology mostly) not their exports. The economic damage is being done by the EU (and allies) stopping buying fossil fuel products from russia (in fact they are now banned from doing so). That was 64% of russia's total exports. Gone.
