What I mean is that Ukraine still fighting Russia with so much money being thrown at their defense doesn't seem to jive with a narrative of a foundering Russian military

What russia lacks in gear it makes up with cannon fodder and blood. This is how you last a year and a half.

Like every article and interview with Ukranians about the conditions on the battlefield make mention of the RF consistently having an exponential (sometimes 10 to 1) artillery advantage, which also doesn't gel with the narrative of an unsupplied army on the brink of collapse
