because producing war materials is propping up the economy in the short term. its a war economy but producing shit to blow up so too use up is not something that will be a benefit in the long term. sanctions is something that works over the long term and that need to be adjusted over time.
Also, when your economy is doing so poorly it's easy to do better. When your economy is doing well, it's more difficult to improve.
Mathematically, if I give a naked homeless person with no worldly possessions a sandwich, they have infinitely more wealth. It's still just a sandwich though.
