Why does htaccess give Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error?

The situation is this:
I have a site on yii2. There is a subfolder frontend/web to which you need to set up a redirect from the site root.
.htaccess in site root:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    # Enable mod_rewrite
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    # Frontend redirect
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ frontend/web/$1
</IfModule>

Here is a piece from the log:

The problem turned out to be in htaccess, which was located in /frontend/web
It was necessary to add

RewriteBase /

Well, the error says "limit of 10 internal redirects reached" - the logs show that Apache endlessly adds 'frontweb/web/' -> 'frontweb/web/frontweb/web/' to your path. Since you need to redirect all requests, remove the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$ line altogether.
Or make it not return true when the internal redirect has already happened
