Russia can't win. They can destroy Ukraine and make it part of Russia, but they have already lost due to the problems they have encountered in trying to take it over. Plus Ukrainian forces have taken back some areas.
With the recent change in events hearing Putin making threats about nukes it sounds to me by the way he is speaking that he is getting desperate knowing the Ukraine won't back down. If he really had nukes then he would have already used them.
If you're actually watching the war in detail you'd know Ukrainian combats deaths are about a 10 to 1 ratio to Russians. The Russians have total dominance. The Ukrainians are making very desperate moves that have had horrible consequences for them. The Ukrainians are way under supplied and the supplies they are receiving from NATO aren't designed to be used in the way they are being used... Some NATO countries might dump some main battle tanks to them, but without the proper training and support they will just be scrap metal.
Most sources put Russian losses at at least twice that of Ukraine. With the constant loss of territory as well. Russia has lost at least half of its initial gains in Ukraine. with about half of the territory they currently control bring Crimea and the Separatist territories... which they had control over since 2014.

I’m not even going to bother trying to explain. There are very, very few war veterans on this site and practically none that study military history or strategy.
@msc545. Well, it's reasonably clear that Russia is not dominating, so they are not winning either. Many (including me) expected the once mighty Russians to roll through Ukraine with ease. I thought there would be a cold -war esque use of brutal combined arms to eviscerate Ukraine. I was wrong. Who thought this would grind on so long.

Clearly. Sorry but when your tanks are being openly stolen by goddamn farmers, yeah, you're incompetent.

lol whatever... You should lay off the propaganda.
It will rot your brain...
Ukraine got their shit pushed in hard and Russia didn't even mobilize 1% of their military force.

@ConanTheHumanitarian You have a lot of bad sources then.

Well evidently.
Russian army is the second strongest on paper but after all the corruption they are not.
Since they're literally dragging randoms off the street and putting them in uniform I think the answer must be yes.
The idea of morale in your population and troops has been underestimated, I’d say.
It has not. All of the reports that Ukraine is "winning" are mostly US propaganda.

@KrakenAttackin I agree.
Equipment moral, and training.. leadership> few intermediate ranks like sergeants.

It's more underestimated in Ukrain
They're Russian Mafia
