The sanctions aren't very good. Russia still successfully sells lots of oil and gas.
Blowing up the infrastructure that produces and delivers that oil and gas would be much more effective.
And you're dead wrong on "Boris intervening". Russia was offering a "peace" deal that was effectively a total surrender. The only reason they did that was to fool idiots into thinking the war was Ukraine's fault.
