Different styles of warfare. Putin mobilised 10% of his army for a short fast ground invasion, expecting little resistance.
What he actually got was a lot of resistance. He prepped no on other than his closest circle as to his intentions, and there weren’t fuel or food supplies to support an invasion going longer than 2 weeks.
Then there’s the economical warfare taking place via sanctions that have hampered his advance even more.
Essentially, a lot of things that Putin underestimated which have weakened his position.
