He over reached in 2022.
Further to Jem’s post, Putin has incorporated parts of Ukraine into Russia by modifying Russia’s constitution. If he stops now, he leaves parts of what the Russian State claims in its law to be its territory, under foreign ‘occupation’. He can’t sell that to a country that now has well over a million dead and incapacitated. What’s worse, there’s mounting evidence that he is being lied to on an industrial scale by his generals and that he might actually believe if he pushes just a little more, he can actually take the territories Russia has annexed. So he’s going to keep going because he thinks his minimum acceptable objective is still attainable.
