No, not really. That's not how wars work, or even how RTS computer games work.
Yes.
The Ukies never had the initiative and they don't have it now. Russia pulling some guys away from lightly harassing Kevin, so they can seriously harass the remainder of the Ukie army in Donbass, isn't bad for Russia or good for Ukraine.
Morale is very important, but not as important as air superiority, artillery superiority, and freedom to maneuver. Russia has those last things and the Ukies don't. I expect the Ukie troops trapped in Donbass to fight bravely, but winning isn't on the cards for them and no amount of morale can change that. Hopefully it's not a total bloodbath where they go out guns blazing (something that always appeals to brave young men, but just guarantees you won't live to fight another day), but it's shaping up to be one.
I'm morbidly curious to see what the next level of Ukieboo delusion looks like tho.
"ACKSHUALLY, the Russians only killed or captured 60,000 hardened troops in the East and redrew the map of Ukraine but CNN said there's still a gay nightclub in Lvov so you lose Putler
