Forces from both sides reached a stalemate, changes will be hard to be achieved now on
Russia has reached a stationary point, it can maintain its position by throwing cannon fodder in mass, Chinese korean War tactics, and wearing out their artillery systems faster than replacement possibility.
Ukraine is steadily improving its weaponry, so long as the USA remains on side; other NATO countries can also do that but on a smaller scale. They can then choose how, when and where to change the dynamic.
All Russia (i.e. the Putin coterie) has is to gamble on is the population balance of front line fighters favouring them sufficiently to do something that forces Ukraine to the negotiating table. Bets?
