It isn't just a war scenario - military vs opposition. The sanctions are absolutely devastating to Russia's economy, and eventually, to its ability and will to continue this. Time is on the side of the Ukranians.
A better combat analogy I think is our own Civil War. Grant keeping Lee at bay, while Sherman was wrecking the South's economy, ability and will to fight.
Sanctions are doing to Putin what Sherman did to the Confederates.
