Note: I’m no expert on Russia or Ukraine — I have never been to either country, don’t know many people there, and I've never served in the military (to the best of my knowledge, none of the besties have either)
I’m just asking a basic question here.

The flower of Ukrainian and Russian youth have been dying in trenches for a long time with almost no territorial gains.
Whichever side goes on the offensive against heavily entrenched positions will lose far more soldiers. Moreover, Russia outnumbers Ukraine ~4:1, so would win a war of attrition even if casualties were equal.
Should a Ukrainian offensive fail with heavy casualties, a Russian counterattack would capture a lot more territory. This is why there has been no major offensive.
