The longer they hold out, the more they make this hurt Russia, and the more they make it cost Russia.

But "winning", in the sense that they're going to somehow repel this invasion? Absolutely not. That's not even on the table.
Ukraine is winning in just about every sense of the word, this invasion has been a disaster.

Russian morale seems very low, here's a tank column surrendering to Ukrainian police and civilians pretty amazing footage:
