Yeah. They're fighting with a hand behind their back. They've taken great pains to limit Ukrainian military and civilian casualties. The US intelligence services admitted as such. If they went full in and attacked with full-spectrum EW, rocket artillery, and airstrikes, the Ukrainian army would cease to exist by now.

However, in that case there'd be 20,000 Ukrainian military deaths and tens of thousands of civilian deaths.

Kadyrov has sent 10,000+ Chechens marching towards Kiev so maybe a more brutal approach to the battle is yet to come. It seems that Putin truly sees this as a re-enactment of the invasion of Germany over 70 years ago. He's gone to the point of announcing military tribunals for members of the current Ukrainian regime. And even Zelensky is playing his role as a sort of "Anti-Hitler" with his refusal to leave Kiev.

Hopefully the war ends before the Chechens are able to quench their thirst for blood.

It's nothing like that. The Chechens are being used as cannon fodder. Urban combat is bloody and it's good for Russia if he can use Chechens to grind the defenders down.
