First, Russian economy was supposed to collapse within weeks. Then Russia was supposed to run out of shell, missiles, and manpower so the military conflict was going to be over quickly.

They think some harm to Russian economy = collapse of Russian economy just because the US and EU economies are so fragile it would mean that
