So, it's wining by losing?

Russia wanted to wipe Ukraine off the map, literally. By simply existing Ukraine is winning.

That's not winning, that's just not losing yet. What a ridiculous thing to claim.
Ok, moving the goal posts works then.
A bit like Putin's war goals.
No, it is carrying out a highly effective asymmetric war. Russia has vastly more resources, but proportionately, Ukraine's forces are being far more effective than Russia's.
Worked reasonably well for the North Koreans and North Vietnamese.

It's a fairly impressive result for the country that was expected to collapse in a week or two.
