The war between Russia and Ukraine has fallen into a protracted war, and in terms of consumption, it is obvious that Russia does not have the strength to compete with the West. Russia is very likely to be unable to win this war, and the fundamental reason is not military, but more political. Because at the beginning, Russia launched the so-called special military operation very reluctantly, and it can be said that the purpose is not legitimate. Therefore, the bitter fruit of failure is likely to be planted at the beginning.

Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Russia's initial reason was that Ukraine wanted to join NATO threatened its security, but at that time Ukraine had not joined NATO, let alone deployed NATO missile on its territory. This reason is very far-fetched. Besides, Russia holds the world's largest nuclear arsenal. Even if Ukraine really joins NATO one day, NATO will still dare to launch missiles into Russia. To take a step back, NATO's deployment of missiles is not a big deal. Russia itself has deployed a large number of missiles in its enclave Kaliningrad . Poland , Germany, France, Britain and even most of Europe can be said to be under the shadow of this missile. Security has never been unilateral. It is useless to deploy missiles.
If Russia first launched a military operation for its own security, it would be a barely reasonable, but in September, Russia's open "referendum to Russia" of the four states in eastern Ukraine was definitely a failure. No matter how high-sounding reason you have, it is untenable to forcibly incorporate other countries' territories into its own country. The West took the opportunity to incite fear and hatred of Russia from countries around the world. Under this situation, few countries dared to openly support Russia's approach, and Russia was in an unprecedented isolation. Even our country dares not support Russia's approach explicitly.
Russia's dilemma has never been a military reason, but Russia's national character will not openly admit defeat, and in the end more people will bleed.
