Both can be true: Russia can lack numbers to make a strategic breakthrough, and Ukraine can simultaneously not be able to field enough materiel to be able to recapture their losses.

To my knowledge, the sapient population is the human population of Earth.
However, there are numerous sentient species that could conceivably be “uplifted” in the next thousand years.
