Assymetric warfare is rarely decided by who suffers more damage. The viet cong and taliban won in three wars despite suffering heavily lopsided losses. Ukraine can plausibly do the same, albeit with loss of territory.
But the propaganda claiming Ukrainian victories so far is contradicted by every report of Russian gains and Ukrainian retreats.
Ukraine lost like 30k soldiers in last 5 months (dead and wounded).
They cant really keep that kind of losses for years, but neither Russia can as they also suffer heavy losses, and Russia cannot draft troops for offensive war.
American Himars recently changed the situation in Ukraine favor, but its possible that Russians will learn and adapt, improve their logistics, move warehouses 100km away from the front line etc.
So nothing is certain now about the future.
We need to support Ukraine as much as we can, remember they are fighting a bigger country that is also richer because of their natural resources.You cant really compare different situations 1:1 as every war is different.
Russians fighting in Ukraine are mongolian horde, who came from the poorest and wildest areas of vast Russia, not really civilized soldiers. There are no rules in Ukraine, this war is one big war crime.
