Ukraine has been waging a counteroffensive against invading Russian forces for just over a month now. The fightback has come at a considerable cost. According to a report by the New York Times, Ukrainian forces lost up to 20 percent of their frontline military equipment in the first two weeks of the campaign.
The rate of loss has now slowed, along with the pace of the counteroffensive. The Times said Ukraine has managed to retake just 8 out of 96 kilometers along its planned route. This week Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged that there had been a pause in operations, which he blamed on a lack of equipment and munitions.

the good news is that the western tanks and AFVs do a far better job at protecting the crew. Even if a western vehicle gets knocked out, the crew often manage to bail. Internal blast doors and other safety measures on western tanks priotize crew survivability. The cold war era T72 and other Russian tanks much less so. For example the ammunition storage in the T72 and later variants often explodes if an incoming round hits, you will have seen the many examples of T72 turrets flying high into the air, this is because the ammunition has no safety measures to stop it cooking off following a penetration. Western tanks do a much better job at keeping the important crew members alive and able to fight another day, that is taking its toll on the Russians.

For Russia, i believe capturing/annexing Kharkov and Odessa is out of the question even though they might view them historically as Russian cities, for Ukraine reclaiming currently held Russian territory is out of the question as well, i just don't see them being capable of accomplishing this task.
