Putin really does not see it. Ukraine really does not matter to the West, but by killing his youth he long term destroys Russia as a serious threat. Same story with his military equipment. There is a reason many in the West do not want Ukraine to win quickly. The war destroys Russia as a serious threat long term. The longer it lasts, the weaker Russia is going to become.

MODERATORS
You are absolutely right, but I would like to highlight that many is not a majority.
Majority of us want to see this over ASAP with Russia bleeding on the floor and Ukraine getting a good rest and reconstruction.
It's sad, but it's probably the true reason behind the delayed weapons deliveries (tanks, planes etc)
How can russian teachers coordinate quietly, to discuss responses to this? And the older students too? Could the fediverse play a role, as it's hard for the state to shut it down? I'm recalling how, in the 1980s, samizdat (self-printing of books) and later magnetizdat (self-copying of music), as well as anekdoti (complex jokes...), helped to crumble the general trust in the state propaganda (especially after chernobyl).
