They are in for the long haul.
Richard, Twitter is not the font of true information all the time, perhaps have a read of this.

A report by the Russian daily Kommersant seems to contradict the claim, saying the Ministry of Digital Development has denied a government move to block Russian access to the internet.
So while Putin could have called to block Russia from the web, it may not come to pass.
Kommersant said that the ‘order’ is now only limited to the government websites and has been taken to prepare the country’s internet infrastructure against any external disconnection and cyber threats.

There is also this to consider, admittedly only an opinion piece but I think it deserves merit.

Putin cannot expand his war of aggression until he is victorious in Ukraine. This means the singular focus of Western policy should be aimed at containing Russian expansion by giving Ukraine the weapons necessary to stalemate and defeat the Russians in Ukraine. There will be no war in Moldova and no thrust into the Baltic Republics if Putin meets disaster in Ukraine. The unequivocal policy of NATO and the United States should be to give every conceivable type of aid to Ukraine to win the unprovoked war of barbarism that Putin has launched. The Ukrainians are holding the line. There will be mass suffering, death, trauma and pain ahead. All of it is the result of one man’s evil and delusion. Arm Ukraine with everything she needs to win. This moment calls for decisive leadership in the west.
