Nobody claims they are winning...only that Russia is taking heavy casualties and likely more casualties. The best Ukraine can do is pick and choose their spots for maximum effectiveness and then disappear into the countryside and do the same thing again another time. There is no chance they can win if they go toe to toe with Russia no matter how incompetent and poorly trained their soldiers are or how many generals get killed.
Russia has shown to be a paper tiger on the battlefield but their technology and sheer numbers are too much for Ukraine to fight one on one. They are highly incompetent in both tactics and planning and the way they handle orders forces their generals to be much closer to the front lines than other armies because their lower ranking commander's have little ability to change the orders if the situation dictates it.
A brigade of Russian Soldiers intentionally ran over their commander in retribution for the heavy losses they took...but oh let me guess,
@Zimbabwe, this is just propaganda from the west and it never happened.
The story of a Russian officer attacked by his own troops in revenge for heavy losses had already been circulating, and was confirmed on Friday.
