Victories coming at a cost is not something new and info on how severe they are is hard to come by due to the fog of war. So unless you have a decent source, this point is kind of useless.

What good reason does Russia have for it's full scale invasion?

And next: I don't know why I should be the one looking up how many conscripts Ukraine has when it is your argument. Why don't you look it up yourself?

And what should the west do to protect themselves form Russian aggression in your eyes? If this is not the right way to do it.

Would you rather get conscripted as a Ukrainian defending against Russia or get conscripted as a Russian to invade Poland?

That's the choice Ukrainians are facing.

In this dilemma I would choose to defend Ukraine full stop.

So the choice is to get conscripted right now for an ongoing war or to avoid the draft for now and risk being drafted sometime in the future for a war that most likely would never happen? There's no choice for sane person. And Ukrainians are much clever than you tend to think, that's why they are evading draft en masse: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/europe/ukraine-conscription-mobilization-bill.html

You think Putin will stop at Ukraine and Georgia? You were so confident that Biden was trying to make a distraction from domestic issues two years ago, right before the tanks rolled across the border.
