The counter-offensive has not gone well so far.
If reports are correct, never before has a place had so many landmines and booby traps. Russia has had 9 months to prepare for the counterattack.

Although something Ukraine has over Russia is reliable partner allies.
If Ukraine can keep Russia busy, it is only a matter of time before sanctions destroy the Russian economy.
All Democratic countries are chipping in and adding more and more sanctions over time. 
What is being worked on now, is stopping neutral countries from being a gateway to sell Russian products, or to sell sanctioned products indirectly to Russia.

China has a bloodnose as many Democratic countries are looking for alternative suppliers.
For the first time in like 20 years, China has a decreasing GDP-  So China's support of Russia is also on the decline. The Chinese economy is very dependent on exporting to first-world countries.

India is just using Russia to provide them with cheap unrefined oil, so they can refine it themselves - and sell it on the international market with a markup. 

Suddenly Putin's allies are North Korea and Iran. (And the ANC).

When McGregor said in interviews that the counter-offensive failed you kept quiet.   The reason it failed is that the Ukraine ran out of soldiers and according to a foreign welfare agency parents are desperately hiding their sons since  they are kidnapped by the police and army in Ukraine, given a gun and thrust into the frontline without training to be killed within hours since they are totally untrained.   Mind you the welfare organization wondered why it happened - bu th e above is obvious.   
I will not call the Ukraine allies reliable.    Biden is in deep shit due to his corrupt activities in Ukraine and a string of other countries and without him the allied effort will collapse.   His allies in Europe all have weak Governments and they are losing support rapidly -  they are failing in elections and the Ukraine War is part of it.   The Allies have provided so much ammo to Ukraine that they have not enough left for use by their depleted armies.   So that support source is rapidly declining.
Your story of support is riddled by BS.    Do you for instance know that Russia is still providing gas and oil to Ukraine itself through pipelines running through Ukraine to Germany - so how effective are the sanctions?   Sanctions never worked in the past as the chances of it working against Russia is near to zero.     Even Biden scrapped sanctions on import of fertilizers from Russia as the agricultural production in the USA will plummet without it.   The question  as to exports by China is dropping because of the financial chaos in the USA and other countries who struggled to pay for imports from China.    An example - Biden sold oil from the USA Strategic Oil Reserve to China - leaving that reserve on the lowest level since 1946.   If the USA directly get involved in a major War the USA will run out of oil within 3 months.    
It is not only that problem  that is causing havoc - the rush of what used to be staunch allies of the USA to join BRICS shows how many countries are realizing how really weak the USA has become.     The same applied to EU countries - where inflation linked to the War in Ukraine is causing havoc for the ordinary people in countries while the rich benefit from Wars and the rest suffer.     
The outlook for the USA and the EU and other allied countries is deteriorating in GDP and debts are rising on a daily basis.    The fact is that part of the problem is the leftist policies of spending borrowed money and their printing of money is running at full strength,  How long can that last?   The 7 million illegal migrants in the USA due to the Open Border Policy of Biden is costing the taxpayers billions a month.
