Despite the heavy losses I don't think the war is unwinnable for Russia in current conditions.
Putin is throwing all sorts of minorities and foreign mercenaries into the meat grinder while Ukraine is losing future generations to this insanity. The towns they level are not in Russia but in Ukraine and if the US keeps blocking Ukraine from striking Russia itself, they won't be able to stop the Glide Bombs and cruise missiles.
The Russians care little about the lives lost (the common soldier has a very low social standing) which is why killing more Russians will not stop the war.
In their twisted view Ukraine should give up to stop the killing because resistance is futile.
Ukraine needs a free hand to destroy things the Russians (especially those in control) do care about and they mostly care about their stuff and luxuries.
I think if you lobbed a missile at a parking lot with fancy cars from local party officials and oligarchs, it would 'hurt' Russian morale more than killing their soldiers.
You can also see this in what the Russians target. They loot stores, bomb shopping malls and steal washing machines.
