The Russians don't need to make decisive offensives because those are very costly as Ukraine discovered last summer. What the Russians are doing is a slow push of attrition all across the front using their superior artillery and air force power. Ukraine and the west are very clearly not able to keep up with that. Now we're already starting to see the signs of the Ukrainian army breaking under pressure with the loss of Avdevka being a prime example of that.
If you bother reading the article I linked in this very thread, it answers all those questions for you. The Ukrainians also have not shown anything of the sort. They've literally lost every engagement so far.
I've already addressed your points earlier, and I don't really need to argue with you here because the reality of the situation is going to become evident even to the most propagandized sectors of the public soon enough. You can enjoy living in your fantasy land for now though.
