" why is it difficult for Russia to stop them from advancing deeper inside Russia."
They stopped advancing some days ago.
Maybe, the Russians are content to to have them where they are. These are some of Ukraine's best, most experienced, most ideologically motivated, best armed, troops. Bottled up in a wild part of Russia, they cannot stop the Russian advance in Donbas, nor influence the battle there. They control a large number of Russian settlements. However, these settlements are so small that Google Maps does not mention them! (Don't take my word for it, look for yourself.) Even Sugia, (Суджа) about which so much is said, in peacetime, had a population of abour 6,500.
It seems, that the incursion into Kurst Oblast was intended to pull Russian trooops away from the battle in Donbas, but it did not do that. Instead it led to the mobilisation of troops, hitherto kept in reserve in Russia.

This program so far is a whitewash. If you were a policeman investigating a murder and you had a suspect with motive (and he was the only suspect with a motive!), opportunity and means, who was seen in the relevant area in the three days before the deed took place; who would you suspect? Let me guess!
In case you don't know (Sarcasm.) the US is determined to maintain its hegemony and it took down Japan when it got too competitive and it is now in the process of taking down Europe in general and Germany in particular. In all probability, the war in Ukraine was started to provide an excuse to sanction Russia. Had those sanction destroyed the Russian economy and brought about a regime change, as was intended, perhaps Germany might have been spared, for now. As it did not work, Plan B came into operation to take down Germany and Europe.
The war has not gone as expected either, but what is clear is that the leaders in Washington care not a whit for Ukrainians. My bet would be, that when they have lost, they will be abandoned, just as the Afghans were.

@voraxe3032 "sounds like a racket to me just eat decent" Type 1 Diabetes is a failure of the pancreas to produce insulin, which means you cannot clear glucose from your blood. Glucose is the breakdown product of sugar and starch. It is a genetic defect. You need supplementary insulin to replace the insulin that your pancreas is not producing. (Or this new Chinese treatment.)
Type 2, means that, for too long, you have eaten too much sugar and starch and produced so much insulin, that the cells in your body have stopped responding to it and stopped absorbing glucose to make energy and fat. "Eating decent" is not helpful, if what you eat, contains sugar or starch. If you have type 2, you need to go on a keto diet and cut out as much sugar and starch as you can. Fortunately, if you get most of your calories from "decent" fat (Butter, Tallow, mutton fat, Lard, chicken fat coconut oil, real olive oil (and NO seed oils, NO Margarine!) you will feel hungry much less often and full much sooner. The reason for that is, when you eat sugar and you get glucose in your blood, your pancreas produces insulin and your muscles absorb the glucose and turn it into glycogen, which can be used later to make muscular energy. When the muscles have made all the glycogen they need, the fat cells turn the remaining glucose in the blood, into fat and store it. That leaves the insulin, that was produced to deal with the glucose, that has been stored, still in your blood and that makes you feel hungry! This is why sweet things make you want more sweet things. In other words, sugar and starch are highly addictive drugs which, when taken in excess, are very damaging. The Big Food Companies are the biggest pushers around! Read the labels on the food.

The point that you, and all Western commentators seem unable to grasp, is that the Russians are not all that interested in taking and holding territory. At the start of the "SMO", Putin stated the Russian aims as "prevent Ukraine joining NATO, to de-militarise Ukraine and to de-NA*Ify Ukraine". Nothing, about gaining a lot of ground. Unlike the Ukrainian government, which seems to have an obsession about holding onto "every millimetre of territory", even when it costs a mountain of killed and wounded, as was seen in Bachmut, the Russians have looked at the disposition of forces and when they saw that they were locally weak, they withdrew to a more easily defended position.
In the result the Russians have largely done what they set out to do. Not only is Ukraine de-militarized, but NATO seems to be very short of weapons, most of the NA*I battalions are dead and Ukraine is not (Officially) part of NATO. Maybe the Russian aims are now changing, we shall have to wait and see, but there can be very little doubt they have done what they set out to do. It's mostly over, bar the shouting.
