@Z_Poster365 is correct.

On the broader scale... a lot of shit has happened, so just as a stream of consciousness:

The EU instituted an oil embargo on Russian tankers (but not pipelines, as Hungary kept blocking it). However, it seems like there's some shady, undercover-y stuff going on which is keeping them on the seas. Meanwhile, India has taken in 8x as much oil from Russia as they did pre-war, and China is also filling up. Russia's oil production is definitely down, but not nearly as much as the West hoped, and oil prices have meant that oil revenues have largely kept Russia fine economically.

China is anxious about getting sanctioned because they have the biggest foreign reserves on the planet (something like $3 trillion) and really don't want that seized like Russia's reserves were seized. So a lot of their companies are temporarily pulling out, or operating more secretively, while China figures out how to solve that problem. Also, China's economy is slowly but surely waking up from the lockdown.

The weapons shipments into Ukraine are getting increasingly desperate. We've endured a couple months now of the West hyping up a weapon system, saying it's a game-changer; it entering Ukraine; then it turns out there were either too few of them to make a difference or they're just worse than Russian weaponry. The latest thing has been long-range missiles, but the ones the West are giving are actually about the same range as Ukraine's stuff because Putin threatened to do strikes on "places he hasn't yet struck" in Ukraine if missiles that could hit Russia are sent to Ukraine, and the West was cowed by that. I don't really know precisely what he meant, but I personally assume he meant he would strike decision-making centers that contain western analysts.

Aside from those wonderweapons, the stream of weaponry has slowed down, and getting more and more aged. The stuff they send sometimes doesn't even have the right ammo (or ammo at all). Germany seems like they're more-or-less out, promising weaponry that hasn't even been built yet. France just sent 6 (I repeat, 6) howitzers, in a war which is basically an artillery battle where Russia outmatches Ukraine 20 or even 40 to 1.

The Western world continues to suffer the results of their sanctions. The whole world, really. Food rises, energy prices, etc are up by quite a lot, everywhere. Just yesterday, there was an article about how UK healthcare workers are calling off work sick because it costs too much to buy the fuel to get them to work. The United States is among the most insulated from these changes, but it's still getting hit hard. Somewhat humorously, US economists keep going back and forth as to whether there will be a recession, whether inflation has peaked (it hasn't), but in Europe it's virtually certain that there will be a recession.

Meanwhile, the US is looking at a Summit of the Americas where they're missing several countries that were banned or refused to go because other countries were banned; a project in Asia in which they can't offer nearly enough to persuade the countries of Southeast Asia to side with them over China; Russia still has plenty of support in Africa and South America; Denmark and the Netherlands don't want Ukraine in the EU; and Turkey doesn't want Sweden and Finland in NATO. The hegemony is collapsing, slowly but surely. Meanwhile, countries like Argentina want to join BRICS, and Iran has proposed a potential new currency for countries in Central and East Asia to use rather than the dollar.

The other user is a doomer and is not telling you an accurate assessment but their own anti-Russia biased description.

Russia has taken Severodonetsk, they have taken Popasnaya, they are on the outskirts of Slavyansk and Lisychansk. LPR is 99% under Russian allied forces control. The new weapons shipped from the west have not proven effective, Ukraine has admitted losses of 200 deaths per day (more likely it’s much higher than that and that doesn’t include injuries and desertions and surrenders). Russia has a 10:1 ratio of POWs to Ukraine.

Russia’s deep strategic tactics and encirclement strategies are more similar to WW2, not WW1.

Ukraine is losing badly, the west is falling into doubt and recrimination. The collapse of the Ukrainian state is weeks or months away, they have already started giving Poland soft administrative control over western Ukraine.

kinda wish I had that problem. I can't keep my mind off of it, instead.

Nothing much, lots of people died on the frontlines, russia embraced advanced logic of ww1 “they’ll run out of soldiers sooner than we will”. Some signals that this is not working out great for ukraine, but no big decisive wins for russia.
