>Russia has the upper hand right now
That may be the understatement of the year.
I suggest you take a peek at Pokrovsk/Myrnograd right now and how fast it has been moving.
This map is very pro hohol and for instance ignores that Russian forces are inside Pokrovsk, but you can still gauge the speed of advances.

And it looks similar across the entire front.
Remember that once the front lines starts to slow down, any war becomes an industrial tug of war.
Russia alone has multiple times greater industrial output than the entire NATO combined.
China has orders of magnitude greater industrial output.
Iran and North Korea, in military terms, can individually out produce NATO.
All of these, to varying degrees, are now manufacturing weapons, ammunition and/or weapon components used in the war for the Russian side.
As long as Russia has the manpower, and they do, they will win.
Not only that, we are actually seeing North Korea sending peace keepers (they mostly clear mines etc, freeing up Russian forces).
So there is a surplus supply of soldiers that isn't even Russian, just like we see foreigners fighting for Ukraine.
And why does Russia have access to volunteer formations from other countries?
Because all of the others know that after Russia, the mutts will come after them.
And because Russia is winning.
The latter btw is why Ukraine by contrast has had such hard time recruiting more foreign (and domestic) soldiers once the initial hype was gone.
So what happens next?
More of what happens right now.
As Ukraines forces keep shrinking, Russian advances will increase in pace.
