I didn't get the impression that Russia was loosing anything. The invasion did happen and I suspect they archived their goal by seizing all the Bio labs. In the schema of any conquest this was a huge win without having to carpet bomb a nation or even bother with any significant air support. I understand the MSM has it's opinions of winners and looser but it's only a western opinion without analysing the greater importance of what Russia actually did. Kiev was never the goal but a diversion from the real agenda.A failed invasion, that is. Because Ukraine is winning, and it was clear to everyone from the beginning that the Russian army didn’t stand a chance.
