Now that's it's an artillery war , a war the Russian Army is equipped and trained to fight, a lot of the tactical ineptitude we saw during the first 6 weeks will stop. Only thing that will stop Russian ineptitude is if their troops get better trained and their leaders become smarter which they seem to have become to a degree right now. Artillery only helps the Russians in reducing their own casualties while inflicting casualties on the enemy. So Putin has to defeat Ukraine and install his own government. That's what he tried to do in the first week of the war and failed. That time has passed and completely defeating Ukraine and removing Zelensky is impossible as long as western support keeps flowing into the country. The best Putin can do now is gain some ground in Ukraine and hope that he's able to hold it and negotiate to keep it.
