Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has admitted that the long-promised counteroffensive against Russian forces has not delivered the results that some Western observers expected. Amid mounting losses, Zelensky insisted that he would not discuss peace with Moscow.

Zelensky is such an incredibly brave soul (sarc). He's so very cavalier with the lives of others. Seems the same can be said for so many politicians in the world today, including or especially in our own country. The only leader (real leader) out there demanding peace and an end to the killing is President Trump.
I trust RT more than I trust most western sources, but for topics like this they are not unbiased. I would expect them to be saying Russia is winning regardless of the reality of the situation. Just as I might expect western news outlets to prop up Ukraine's chances in spite of reality.
Your expectation is only prejudice, not proof. So far, the Russians have been playing it straight. The Ukrainians have issued hoax after hoax, roundly debunked.
Oh yeah I am far more inclined to believe the Russian side of this than the western/Ukrainian side. But I have to recognize that I have no way of directly knowing what is actually happening over there, and also that I expect both sides to say they are winning. There is simply no way to know with certainty.
So far as I have experienced, the Russian "side" has said only "here's what's happening." The bloggers draw conclusions, but generally are rational enough not to count chickens before they have hatched. Ukraine is all over the place with "Winning!" The numbers are indicative of who will win.
Listen to interviews with Col. Douglas Macgregor and Scott Ritter to get a good, objective assessment of where matters stand and where they are likely to go.
It has come to the point where you can almost count on whatever the U.S. government says to be either a lie or a misdirection.
CBS said this morning that Ukraine was "taking the war into Russian territory." It won't be long and they will be in Moscow.
One would suppose Zelensky's next move would be to ask for more of our tax payer dollars.
It’s a rouse to launder money. They are trying to steal all the wealth from the people so that 30 years from now we will own nothing and be happy we are allowed to just breathe. We need to stop this now. MAGA
Just because the counter offensive is a flop and just because thousands of soldiers, hundreds of tanks and billions of dollars went up in flames does not mean they are losing. Its still a win.
The Ukrainians are now running out of cemetery space.
The whole country is a cemetery
