Given the short expected lifespan of newly trained Ukrainians, perhaps Russia sees no reason to waste time/resources obliterating the training.
An obvious Russian failing is inadequate PR about NATO personnel that have died in the war. The origin countries soldiers being killed on a regular basis underlines that NATO countries are losing much more than money. Besides losses reflecting badly on the NATO govt. involved, it would get the home audience to oppose serving in their military, opposed to potential conscription and resistant to their inadequate troops invading Ukraine. A steady flow of the NATO troops and officials who have died in Ukraine underlines the hard reality, 180 degrees from Ukraine having a chance to win. Seeing the losses mount over time is likely to make more people against moving significant numbers of NATO troops into harms way, because the citizens would anticipate many more casualties, making it less of a "contrast effect" and less justification for escalation to nukes.
Given that rank and file citizens are not as gung ho to risk WW3 as their NATO-dependent Govt., it is way past the time when Russia should have seized the narrative to a greater extent, to counteract NATO propaganda and news suppression.
