Bar using nukes, Ukraine war could drag on for decades.
Its more Russia is keeping it going to not lose face with whomever than any sort of territorial gain.

The cynic in me thinks that the war is deliberately being prolonged, so as to continue to delete the military assets of Russia. A fair few countries are continuing to donate weapons & money to Ukraine, so they should be able to sustain their efforts for longer.

A possibility for sure.
Modern warfare is so expensive as well.

Plus it advances technology.
