The war is becoming a war of attrition/industrial warfare. The Russians know they aren't going to just roll over the Ukrainian army anytime soon. So Russia is making long term moves, of scaling up the military manpower and scaling up the industrial production. They have to wear down the Ukrainians, and try to gradually overwhelm them.
In this war of attrition the frontlines don't have to move much, but if one side is gradually running out of weaponry, ammo and manpower, then they are in trouble unless something changes.
The Pentagon is really good at this type of war though too, America is the masters of economics and logistics. The US is finding the American and West European arms manufacturers they are too slow at scaling up production and too costly for their weapons systems for a long war of attrition. So the US has found its better to give big contracts to defense manufacturers in Eastern Europe, who also make the same Soviet era equipment the Ukrainians have. And the West is starting to buy a ton of weaponry from South Korea. As the Asians as usual can manufacture high quality equipment fast and cheap.
Meanwhile Russia is turning to among others, North Korea for weaponry. As the North Koreans might not have state of the art weaponry, but they can make large amounts of regular weaponry, and have very large stores of weaponry.
