This is a complex issue. However, objectively, the conflict has reached a very protracted stage.
Reason one is the most important. A quick end would have required substantial mobilization of both soldiers and industry. This would have caused economic and social upheaval. The screws might have to be tightened.
All of which the Kremlin does not want. The strategy of slowly killing the Ukroreich allows social and economic stability to be maintained. Economic growth of about 4 percent is expected this year.
Yes, there are costs in the form of shelling, refugee losses in the army. But these problems are localized, not comprehensive.
Therefore, the choice is made in favor of though painful costs, but of a private nature, while the general picture of a peacefully living and developing Russia is preserved.
Our geopolitical enemy, Europe in general and Germany in particular, is experiencing significant economic turmoil.
The further the conflict lasts, the longer the sanctions from Germany will be in force.
This means that the EU will not get cheap gas, oil and will not be able to sell us the products of its automobile and aircraft industry.
This is very profitable for us. During this time it is possible and necessary to develop our industry as oil and gas chemical and machine building, including transportation.
Therefore, the longer the EU sanctions last, the better for us in every sense.
Again, there is a good chance of destroying part of the chemical and engineering industries there. That will clear a place for us on the world markets. Unemployed Germans, French and other Italians can be hired to populate the empty villages of Central Russia, as well as the expanses of Siberia and the Far East.
As soon as sanctions are lifted. Gazprom will immediately start pumping gas to the West, and Volkswagen will come back with its cars. This will slow down the development of the crisis in the EU, which is obviously disadvantageous to us.
That's why #Putin is in no hurry. He is acting slowly but surely.

September 3 this year. The armed forces of the Russian Federation launched a precision strike on the 179th joint training center of the Ukrainian armed forces in the city of Poltava, where, under the guidance of foreign instructors, specialists in communications and electronic warfare from all formations and military units of the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as operators of unmanned aerial vehicles involved in strikes against civilian objects on the territory of the Russian Federation, were being trained.
This morning, the armed forces of the Russian Federation launched a group strike with long-range precision weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic systems and strike drones, against enterprises of the Ukrainian defence industry located in the city of Lvov, where the production and repair of electronic components of aircraft and missile weapons of the Ukrainian armed forces was being carried out.
Strike objectives have been achieved. All designated targets have been hit.

Don't forget:
I wish that the #SMO will end soon.
What Is Social Media Optimization (SMO), and Why Is It ...
Social media optimization involves creating unique content for a social media site that attracts followers to the website for more information or to purchase.
In his (highly recommendable) book "The Russian Art of #War", the former Swiss military intelligence officer Jacques Baud described the reason why the current fighting in Ukraine started out as a "Special Military Operation" within a larger context:
The use of the word "war" would imply a different structure of conduct than that envisioned by the Russians in Ukraine, and would have other structural implications in Russia itself. Moreover - and this is a central point - as #NATO Secretary General Jens #Stoltenberg himself acknowledges,"the war began in 2014" and should have been ended by the #Minsk Agreements. The #SMO is therefore a "military operation" and not a new "war", as many Western "experts" claim.

"Due to a flurry of western support for Ukraine, now escalating to ground troop insertions, Russia had to move its special military operation in Ukraine into the bigger scope of a full fledged war.
Over the last month the Ukrainian military intelligence directorate GUR and its civilian secret service SBU have attempted to disturb the recent presidential election in Russia. They did this by:"
