Even with the problems at the top, Russias forces are slowly crumbling. Btw, Some months ago, Zelensky stated a goal of 50k Russian casualties per month. Once the counts go to around 1600 on a daily basis, that would essentially mean 50k on a monthly basi and it would probably be the point where Russia couldn’t keep up with the war anymore. They’ll have to have experienced soldiers to show the new guys how to fight and that won’t happen if somebody is getting blown up every minute. 

What is a Ground Robotic Complex?

And yeah, losses are increasingly exceeding recruitment rates of Russia, which can result in them calling another round of mobilization - but Putin said that he wouldn't do so, so he's in a bit of a pickle here, especially with his favorability rating increasingly dropping, so breaking that promise would also break the Russians support of him and his cronies.

It's also a problem for other countries, as practically all potential replacements of Putin are MORE agressive or unhinged or something along those lines. In other words, going off the rails and using nukes against Ukraine wouldn't be out of question anymore for some of those.
