Your assumptions, as are those of many other commenters, are that advances on any given days are indicative of the potential outcome of the WAR, which are not necessarily valid propositions.
In the first three years of WWII, who would you have bet on winning. But the results during the first three years did not foretell the eventual outcome of that war, either by the Nazis or the Japanese. That was partly due to the resistence of partisans, the resolve of the British, and the success of the Russians and the Chinese, with the assistance of the original Lend-Lease Act under which the Russians, Chinese and other countries including the UK, were afforded subsequent support from the USA. Many other countries were supported under that same Lend-Lease program. However, the Russians appear to continue to believe, or to be convinced by their government, that they won WWII all by themselves.
It is amazing how the world has changed since then.
It seems to me that the vocal and raucous out-pourings of the noisy pro-Russian camp constitutes mearly the loud chorus of the "punters" from the sidelines cheering on the side on which they have placed their bets or with which they are in the employ.

"The Great Patriotic War, as Russians call World War II, claimed the lives of more than 27 million Soviet citizens. When Putin traveled to Normandy, France to celebrate the 60th VE Day anniversary, he took with him two WWII veterans. Those veterans were members of the organization that ultimately helped to open the Museum the Allies and Lend-Lease. Shortly after Putin’s return from Normandy, the Museum of the Allies and Lend-Lease was given approval to open. The greatest contribution to the museum from the Russian government, according to Borodin, was Putin’s statement at Normandy, where he encouraged citizens to celebrate the aid the U.S. gave to Russia and to move beyond the Soviet practice of denying the importance of lend-lease."
“The process of establishing and opening the museum was difficult,” Borodin explained. After WWII, high level officials in the Soviet government prohibited discussion about the aid the U.S. provided. As a result, few knew what the museum was for or why such a monument existed."

Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today's currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

China fought Japan with aid from the Soviet Union, United Kingdom and the United States. After the Japanese attacks on Malaya and Pearl Harbor in 1941, the war merged with other conflicts which are generally categorized under those conflicts of World War II as a major sector known as the China Burma India Theater.

In 1943 the Army Air Forces organized some support units for the China-Burma-India theater, including the 14th Air Service Group, composed predominantly of Chinese-American personnel. Other Chinese-Americans trained as pilots and aircrew and fought in Europe and the Pacific.
