Russia has taken no meaningful area of land in the last twelve months after losing half of what they had illegally occupied in March 2022 when they retreated, withdrew and were routed from Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson. And Russia is still losing hardware, including land-based hardware and equipment, aircraft and even ships of their Black Sea fleet as well as tens of thousands of their future posterity in terms of the personnel that are dying on the fronts.
This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here.

Considering attrition, I'm not so sure that Russia does have a huge advantage.
Rapid End to WAR & Attrition of Military Resources.
Many people are saying, "We could have ended this WAR last year, if Ukraine had been given all they needed". What people seem to forget, or simply do not know, is that:
#** February 2022 Russia had nearly 3 times as many tanks as Ukraine had prior to Feb 2022.
-- Russia 3,400 tanks
-- Ukraine 1,400 tanks {60% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, Ukraine's tank inventory is believed to be considerably better equipped and have greater capacity and firepower than the Russians and they now have more, outnumbering the Russians by ~50%.
-- Russia 990 tanks
-- Ukraine 1,500 tanks {50% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
#** February 2022 Russia had 14% more heavy guns and artillery in Feb 2022
-- Russia 2,200 Artillery/Heavy guns
-- Ukraine 1,900 Artillery/Heavy guns {14% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, the Artillery and heavy guns inventories are:
-- Russia 773 Artillery/Heavy guns
-- Ukraine 1,100 Artillery/Heavy guns {42% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
#** February 2022 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems {MLRS}
-- Russia 1,100 MLRS
-- Ukraine 840 MLRS {25% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, the numbers of MLRS are:
-- Russia 354 MLRS
-- Ukraine 427 MLRS {20% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
Had an all out WAR been fought in the early months of 2022, Russia would have had an advantage of about 3:1 against Ukraine in terms of military hardware. That may well have been even greater because of levels of training of military personnel on the various platforms, and the elements of logistics and supply.
Today, Russia's inventory of military hardware is believed to actually be less than that of Ukraine in all the categories above. Ukraine has depleted Russia of much of its hardware, probably most of the best of the Russian troops and massive amounts of ammunition and also a lot of the infrastructure; railways, roads and bridges that Russia relies on for movement of troops, hardware and ammunition. That depletion of Russian military assets continues.
By this gradual process of attrition of the hardware, equipment, ammunition and {unfortunately, from a humanitarian perspective} Russian military personnel, I believe that many lives, particularly of Ukrainian civilians and military personnel, have been saved.
🇺🇦 Victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦
