The most damage Russia has been able to inflict has been from indiscriminate long range artillery strikes, but that alone can't win a war. As it currently stands, it seems like Russia will only be able to maintain a stalemate while continuing to bleed personnel and resources, unless they get a massive influx of new troops and equipment that some are predicting. But wouldn't we have seen some evidence of that by now?

I think Ukraine continues to hold strong and resist any pressure to provide concessions to Russia, as the longer this drags out the higher the likelihood of Russian supply lines collapsing completely

Unfortunately they are making progress on the south and east fronts and threaten to cutoff a large contingent of the Ukrainian army, which would then open up much of the country to them. It’s a race against time…sanctions + weapons + resistance + incompetence vs. overwhelming forces
