Ukrainian/NATO propaganda is so pervasive, it shows up even here.
Granted, there's a grain of truth here. Russia spent the early weeks of this war going in with blitzkrieg tactics using a lean force, hoping Ukraine would crumble. Instead, the AFU held, and they had to withdraw after taking losses. But then they shifted strategy from WWII to a cyberpunk WWI, NATO has had no answer to that, and they've been winning ever since. Also, the thunder run to Kiev was meant to throw Ukraine off balance so they could capture Mariupol and consolidate territory in the Donbass.
More importantly, Western estimates of Russian losses are off by an order of magnitude. Mediazona's recorded count is about 62k. Assuming that's a low count, we can bring that up to 72k. That's not insignificant, it's already past Vietnam losses, but it's still quite sustainable, especially since this is a proxy war of Russia vs NATO.
Various sources estimate a 5:1 ratio (based on POWs, Putin's statements, etc). Some go higher to 7:1, but I'll stick to the low number, which would give us 360k Ukrainian losses. That is unsustainably high, and if these numbers are anywhere near accurate, it means Ukraine is getting attrited to death, while Russia is taking some hits but doing well overall.
Given the sheer amount of fakery from Western media, the steady Russian advance, various frontline footage I've seen, etc, I'd lean towards those numbers being fairly accurate.
As for the incursion, Ukraine has plenty of population to sacrifice for globohomo, and as I said above, breakthroughs are bound to happen on a long border.

On the bright side, it's inflating their supporters with hopium, so they'll crash all the harder during the inevitable downfall.

I think he wants to keep Zelensky alive for some reason or other, maybe to capture him eventually.

I'm sure some of it is true, along with a DDOS attack. Sources say that the British helped plan the incursion.
