Not exactly. The Arabs’ wars with Israel and the Falkland Islands conflict demonstrated that superior numbers and firepower isn’t everything. Despite what the pro-Ukraine faction shows on social media, the Russians are clearly still conducting maneuver and combined arms warfare just well enough for the Ukrainian forces to get outmaneuvered.
The same thing was said about the other recent conflicts in Libya, Syria and Azerbaijan. "B-b-b-but this is all propaganda! I swear!"
We are seeing people up in arms with guns, Molotov cocktails, barricades and peaceful resistance after their place has been occupied. The entire western world is supporting the Ukrainians. The Russian troops lack logistics and morale to fight against people that look like them and speak like them.
Pull your heads out of the ground and see what is happening.
Practically. If the Russians actually lose this militarily, the entire world's analysts will be shocked (because no serious military analyst has so far said Ukraine can win.) Even the US media hasn't claimed Ukraine is "winning" or can "win." They're just hyping up their resistance, which does not equal winning.

I think people are too used to seeing US beating up on small countries after years of sanctions and weeks of bombardment.
I expect the Ukrainians to have around 150,000 in regular ground army troops, plus another 110,000 to 120,000 in paramilitary.
So its not really overwhelming when the Russians only sent one third of the 300,000 they have arranged at the borders. The amount of Russians used in the campaign might even left them outnumbered. So what the Russians achieved in days remain remarkable, however, the decision to use only one third was clearly dumb, overestimating themselves while underestimating their opponents. They should have sent the entire invasion army in one time instead of piece and parcel.
Looks like Belarus entered the battle. My guess they will guard while Russians push.
Another one from Berdyansk. People peacefully resisting:
