Due to the failure of the offensive, the Russian invaders were forced to change tactics. Significant logistical problems and stretched communications mean the enemy can't get fuel, food and ammunition to its troops in Ukraine. Russian soldiers are looting and attacking civilians.
Russian soldiers were abandoned by their officers and left to fend for themselves. They have abysmal morale.
No longer making up a coherent army, many Russian soldiers are attempting to make it back to border.

Russian invaders suffer heavy casualties in combat with Ukrainian defenders. Having thrown all its reserves into the losing battle, Russia is bringing up more cannon-fodder: "conscripts" from occupied Donbas; mercenaries from occupied Georgia; and convicts from penal colonies.
In almost all their offensives the Russian invaders are not advancing. Instead, they are attempting to retain previously captured positions.
