Addressing Ukraine only, they have the backing of the free world and supporting their entire economy is more or less a rounding error. Obviously Ukrainians as the victims of a behemoth suffer the most. What matters is that Russia is currently spending a third of their budget on the war, an ever increasing amount.

[@GnosticAtheist]

All is explained in the video. War require gambling, the main goal is to make the best bet. In this scenario they won western support and internal morale, had a medium pull of resources on the Russians a minor win on loss numbers. All in all it was a medium win, but it still requires restructure to profit from it. The point is to have a standing defense force of no more than half of the enemy, and loosing half of what the enemy looses. If that is archieved (and it seems to be), it is a win as the enemy must focus on recapure due to popular/national demand.

Tactically the UKR ruse that they were moving troops to the Kursk border to defend from a nonexistent incursion from Russia was also extremely smart. Because it played right into the Russian tactic of attacking the Sumy border to draw needed UKR troops away from the front where they were pushing towards Pokrovsk in order to dominate on that front. So they were essentially doing exactly what the Russian military wanted them to do by building up along the Kursk front, which thins out the front line power and moves it away from where the offensive was taking place at in order to counter a feint. And then the invasion worked spectacularly, so Russia had to draw away troops from where they wanted them to be in order to stop Ukrainian forces pushing in Kursk. It’s basically the Ukrainian military grabbing the barrel that’s pointing at them and turning the gun back around at Russia.
