Because it's a war of attrition and it took a long time for the AFU to reach the point of collapse. Russia didn't do big arrow offensives because those would've been very costly in terms of equipment and manpower as Ukraine found out during its fabled offensive. Instead, Russia chose to use its massive artillery advantage to grind out the AFU instead, and now we're seeing the results of that approach. Here's an analysis from an actual expert if you're interested

We gotta wonder whose benefit it is to keep on prolonging while the official story is different
Given that Russia and Ukraine almost came to an agreement two months into the war and the west sabotaged it, I think there's little question about that.
It's definitely fishy with sabotaging all around from different directions with all of the negotiation attemps
Sabotaging did not come from different directions, it was always coming from 38.8977° N, 77.0365° W, though might be through other places.
