To answer the question of why Russian forces are taking a long time to "win" in Ukraine, one must understand that Ukraine spent 8 years building extensive fortifications along the line of contact in the Donbas region. Once Russian forces overcome these defenses, momentum will be on their side - and already the Western media and Western governments are beginning to change their tune as this happens.
I think a very important part you are missing is that the Ukrainian army is putting all their equipment in residential areas like high rise apartment buildings. The Russians are taking great care not to inflict heavy civilians casualties so they are fighting a street by street fight which takes a great deal of time.
I don't think many people realize how big Ukraine is, especially those who are American. The land area of Ukraine is larger than the combined area of New York State, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Virginia and West Virginia, add about half of Kentucky and you now have Ukraine's size. Ukraine also, due to the several years of fighting in the Donbass, has the most seasoned soldiers which have been trained and supplied by NATO for several years. The "taking so long" narrative is mostly media hype, If Ukraine was only the size of Pennsylvania it still would have taken several weeks for the Russians to be successful.
There is another factor, people in Russia treat civilians in Ukraine as their own. Ukrainian forces on the other hand behave like isis terrorists and use their own civilians they're supposed to protect as human shields. This slows down the process significantly. I saw multiple statements from Russian and Chechen soldiers about what Ukrainian n@zis were doing to civilians, like snipers shooting at people who were cooking food outside, or using civilians for recon on Russians. I also saw multiple civilian statements from Patrick Lancaster's and other war correspondents interviews.
