I think the main reason is that they reported at home for 4 years that the war is going well, so pulling out would be political suicide. I'm fairly sure the higher-ups in the Russian military are aware that Ukraine won't crumble anytime soon.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if this actually is what Putin gets to hear, it's very well possible that he's only getting fed embellished lies, too. Like he got told before the war that the Ukrainians would greet the Russian troops with open arms or about the state of the Russian military back then. I mean, how long since you would have sacked Shoigu in his place?

It's insane how Trump is on the exact same path with Iran...

Well, he really seems to like Putin's way of doing things...
