I think that a lot of us are just waiting for the other shoe(s) to drop.
The Russians are figuring out viable modern tactics. So are the Ukrainians, they just have less in terms of supply assets. I've always thought that modern war with two competent sides would look like a high tech version of WW1, and that is what we are seeing.
The Russians are inflicting serious attrition on the dug in Ukrainians. In the WW1 model, the front will look relatively static until it breaks. At that point there is a "minor" forward movement of 5-10km, and then the front stabilizes again while the attacker has to reposition his artillery forward.
BTW, good sources of info on the front line situation is

Outside of Ukraine we have the looming stock market/real estate bubble. Debt bubble (personal and governmental). Fed inability to tackle economic implosion. Chinese warmongering, as well as continued Russian war mongering. NATO cracking (Germany is trying to prevent a Russian loss, as are France, Hungary and Slovakia; while Turkey is trying to hamstring NATO in any expansion or intervention endeavor). Looming mass Famine. Japanese credit/bond crisis. Chinese expansion into Micronesia (which threatens supply lines to Australia and SE Asia). Domestic political problems over Abortion, Gun Control, Immigration, Gender Issues; Supply Chain and Urban area breakdown; all while the country is devoid of leadership.
We know in general terms what will happen next, but the timing is impossible to pin down.
It is also happening in "slow motion", that is things don't change much in real day-day time. For example, we know that the progression in Europe pre-WW2 was:
Hitler becomes Chancellor
Hitler become Dictator
Germany re-occupies Rhineland
Germany annexes Austria
Germany annexes Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia
Germany takes over rest of Czechoslovakia
Germany declares full mobilization
Germany invades Poland.
But its not like these things happened on Sunday, the next on Monday, the next on Tuesday and so on. There were weeks and months in between.
Right now we are in the equivalent of somewhere between "Germany annexes Sudetenland" and "Germany takes of the rest of Czechoslovakia". But, as we are seeing, these things don't necessarily happen in quick order. And the present is always somewhat different than the past (though not by much).
