i don't doubt the death toll is staggering on both sides. i do however see ukraine at a massive disadvantage, logistically speaking, since everything they need to fight with has to first be begged for, then covertly smuggled in from the west, and transported across the entire countryside to where the russians are at. russia doesn't have this same problem. they're manufacturing facilities and logistical lines are much closer to the front. combine this with the indisputable manpower disadvantage that ukraine faces and there's little doubt in my mind they can not continue fighting the well-oiled russian war machine in this haphazard fashion they've been fighting in for another year. ukraine is completely dependent on other countries to keep supplying them, and they're running out of men to fight with. whereas russia is not being hamstrung by either of these problems.
