According to whom? Western journalists with degrees in subjects like humanities? US television news? Subreddits?
Russia invaded with the inverse of the ratio recommended by the US Military for attackers versus defenders (3:1) [which is why they had such significant losses in the first several weeks of personnel and equipment]. They have used probably less than 20% of their personnel and equipment.
Despite the assumption that the West has the best gear, at this point in time Russia has not only the best ballistics (hypersonic, etc) but also the best layered air defense systems. The best electronic warfare systems hands down. More diverse longer range artillery systems and more numerous than anything the West can throw at them.
Can you name a single significant counter offensive that the Ukrainian army, the second largest and well-armed in all of Europe with piles of Soviet equipment, their own military industrial complex as well as NATO intelligence and training (other than the sinking of the Moscow, which was pretty impressive).
Regarding tactics, google up "Maskirovka" and military feints. And please read Manufacturing Consent.
The massive English language Ukrainian social media effort does not win wars. We need to be realistic and honest about what is going on instead of projecting what we wish were happening.
