Another example of how the Russians fucked themselves with this war. They know it, too. Russia's strategy now is to power through until they can propagandize populist right-wingers across the West to withdraw support for Ukraine. Putin has their number and plays them like a fiddle, much to the chagrin of Cold War era conservatives.
