JoeB and Congress are giving $33B in weapons to Ukraine.

That alone is 50% of Russia’s defense budget. Other NATO countries are also giving Ukraine significant levels of arms. The US and NATO are also providing invaluable Intel capabilities to Ukraine. Russia’s ability to replace destroyed hardware is very limited since they’ve been denied access to modern tech like chips and they have no homegrown capabilities in that area. The longer this goes the worse it will get for Putin and company, their strategic disadvantages seem to grow over time.
