The AFU garrison control around 3% of the city. It is clinging on to the western most fringes of the city. The so called Ukrainian counter attacks which you allude to were miserable failures. The AFU has suffered horrendous losses in men and materials which the leaked Pentagon papers mention as a reason why the US advised Kiev to retreat from the city. I would say all the evidence revels that it is hard to see this as anything except a failure from Kiev's point of view.
