" 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.
