This is what we thought before the invasion, and it turned out to be a quick and decisive Western cyber-victory if public information is to be believed.
Another issue is that the Russian cyberwar community moves back and forth between organized crime and semi-official or even official jobs and has a somewhat mercenary character. Machiavelli in Chapter IV of "The Prince" explains how it's easier to conquer a state like medieval France, with proud barons jealously guarding their fiefs, than a state like medieval Turkey where civil servants run everything and are often state slaves. Presumably we could do a lot of divide-and-conquer things. For example, we could negotiate amnesties for major cyber-criminal groups and even let them take out very respectable amounts of money if they agreed to leave Russia, go through extremely intense debriefings, and live under intense but tolerable electronic surveillance somewhere such as Ukraine.
So many things we aren't known to be doing. But then it's always possible things will happen, or come out later.
