One, the propaganda mirrors what Japanese people told US interviewers after WW2. They knew they were losing the war because the Japanese forces kept winning glorious victories... ever closer to their homelands.
Two, Russia throughout its history was never afraid of solving a military problem by just throwing more corpses and more stuff at it.
Three, what's really the game plan in the long run? The western european countries don't have a secured supply of fossil fuels so even if they make it through this winter, the next one will be just 6 more months away. Nowhere near enough time to undo the damage 30 years of green-left policies has inflicted on their countries. This conflict has been going on for near enough a decade now (IIRC the crimea thing started in 2014 or so), another year doesn't seem too unreasonable.

All I saw in Ukraine so far was 3 things:
