Putin's mistake is that he did not crush the Ukrainian hydra back in 2014, but hoped for a peaceful settlement of the issue. Russia has been trying to resolve the conflict peacefully for 8 years, while Ukraine was preparing for war, and Ukraine was being pumped up with weapons. And for 8 years, people have somehow forgotten about how Ukrainian punishers crushed Russian rebels in the Donbass, and the world community recognized the legitimacy of the Kyiv authorities, who came to power as a result of a coup. As a result, Putin launched the invasion in 2022 without the full support of the population, and therefore Russia fought for the first few months without mobilization, with a small, limited contingent of contract troops. Thus, from the first day of the war, the Ukrainian army had a comparable strength to the Russian one, despite the fact that a successful offensive requires a numerical superiority, and besides, Ukraine began to mobilize from the first day of the war, and Ukraine began to supply weapons for such amounts of money that Ukraine I have not spent on the army in the last 10 years. In fact, Russia has been fighting against Ukraine for several months not at full strength, using a small part of its army, while more than 30 countries supply weapons to Ukraine. Given this, Russia certainly achieved success by occupying the entire southeast, but the conflict dragged on and Ukraine, which had accumulated a numerical superiority due to mobilization, began to win.
