They question you're really asking is "why is the war taking so long?"
Because it's a war.
I think he is asking how well the devastating sanctions have been working so far. Which is a retorical question of course, because obviously they haven't harmed Russia all that much. Actually, they are hurting the EU as well because of the risen energy prices.

Interest rates are at 21%, highest since 2003.
Inflation is out of control.
Not really all that rosy.

I would say because China and North Korea joined the train of gravy, to the point to NK selling food to Russian Army. Maybe India also helped to sustain the Russian economy for a while.
In any case Russia losing its oil refineries one by one is the real deal here.
