Less than a 1/3 of the weapons sent actually make it to the front. Russia has the world's most natural resources. The rest of the world can't commit troops without risking escalation. And Russia has a fairly robust intelligence system itself.
Russia takes over Donbass, which already has a population in support of Russia, and some more of the east of the Ukraine, giving itself a Black Sea port.
If you define that as a "win" then yes.
