They also force Russia to dedicate tactically significant resources to a region far away. This in turn weighs on logistics.

It also weighs on morale, every time Ukraine can show that Russia is not as invincible as they like their opponents to believe it helps their adversaries, who in turn can also apply more pressure on the Russian military war machine.

Allies of Russia mainly use Russian military equipment and in the current situation, exports of the Russian military industrial complex are 0 or below (they buy back previously sold equipment). So buyers of this equipment start looking for other sources of equipment, which many other countries will gladly supply. Causing the customer base of the Russian manufacturers to shrink, making development and production more expensive and alternatives more interesting. A lost customer here is usually lost for decades of not forever.
