You gotta update your picture of this conflict. Go listen to some talks by Colonel Douglas MacGregor for some proper analysis. Plenty on YT that covers this topic in depth.
Losses are at least 8:1 in favor of RU, their initial goals were stated to limit as much damage as possible and try to force a relatively peaceful resolution. This obviously didn't pan out as they underestimated just how keen for open war the west was, so they fell back and initiated the grinder, almost now achieving their second goal of demilitarizing UA.
The media, and your own, conditions for 'winning' aren't lined up with what they're actually trying to do. At no point have they ever indicated they want to take and hold all of UA, and RussiaManBad has stated multiple times that he believes western UA would prefer to be under Polish rule anyway.
The Duran and The New Atlas also have great objective coverage on this topic.
So what are the estimated losses for Ukraine and Russia?
It's hard to say UA is demilitarized, when weapons are pouring in. I've read people saying that NATO is running out of weapons, but can you honestly say that the UA has less capabilities now than they did when the war started.
