Consider where the ports are in Russia. The Far East is thousands of miles from the main fighting zones, and covered by the Japanese navy. The Black Sea is blocked by Turkey. The Baltic can only be entered by passing within 10 miles of German-occupied Denmark. Such supplies as did get through were taken through the North Atlantic to Murmansk or Archangel, which involved passing German-occupied Norway. The toll on ships and men on this passage was horrible, due as much to the climatic conditions as to the U-boats and bombers. Escorts had to be big ships, both because of the sea conditions and the presence of German battleships; and there were never enough big ships to go round.
