It's working in the sense that they're gaining ground and heavily pressuring the Ukrainian defenders. However, it will only work in the long term if they're able to pressure the defenders to the point where the defending troops deteriorate over time.

If Ukraine is able to withstand the human waves while increasing training time and producing/receiving more materiel than they lose, it will eventually turn around, at the point when the human waves start being exhausted, while Ukraine has managed to scale up the quality and quantity of it's troops and materiel.
