My best guess would be that a few things are happening: 1. Russian Military Leadership is unwilling to risk their best equipment / personnel This is a pretty radical war in that, yes, Ukraine is overmatched in almost every way, but they also have been provided some of the most advanced and modern anti air and anti tank weaponry by NATO countries. And it may not even be clear to Russia exactly what they have been provided. 2. Dissent Among Ranks While we probably won’t know, at least not any time soon. Some of the reported incompetence of the Russian war effort seems too great to be true. I would not be suprised if there was some intentional stalling in the hope that Putin comes to reason. 3. Morale is Low The Russian military waited a long time at the border. Were sent in, purportedly, without really knowing why or to what end, and then asked to kill people who they see as basically their own countrymen. Hard to fight when you don’t know what for, to what end, and geez, kind of seems like we are the bad guys here. This war is going to test even the most nationalistic of the Russian military. I don’t know how much longer this can go on without a military coup.
