I don't think much has changed in a long time now. The amount of Ukraine still being occupied is probably more or less the same as the last time you looked. Russia can't replenish its losses anymore, and Ukraine has built strong fortifications just behind the frontline, so maybe some population centers will change owners, but the big picture is unlikely to change much. As for troops, I think they're waiting for a ceasefire or a proper peace deal and are only supposed to help retain peace. Other support keeps flowing at what seems like a sufficient pace but not much more.
Personally I reckon this is now a waiting game, with the exception of Trump trying to force Ukraine to accept a bad peace deal. I think Europe is waiting for Russia to run out of money to continue the war because support or capability for more just isn't there, and Russia is waiting for either Trump to force Ukraine's hand or the support for Ukraine to run dry in Europe, because they can't really win the war on the battlefield anymore - or Putin is delusional due to his bootlickers giving him misinformation and thinks Russia can still win on the battlefield. If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on Russia running out of money, with a slight chance of Trump's peacemongering ending the war before that.
