There were huge sanctions, many of which are still in place since 2014

There were, actually.
On 19 December 2014, US President Obama imposed sanctions on
Russian-occupied Crimea by executive order prohibiting exports of US
goods and services to the region. On 16 February 2015, the EU
increased its sanction list to cover 151 individuals and 37 entities.

Russia has oil and resources, but if funding dries out, and soldiers run out, and China are hesitant to help, then it’s Putin’s time and logistics vs the ROTW feeding supplies through South-West Ukraine.
