At this rate, Ukraine will have a bigger Airforce than Russia next year

Well, Russia still has enough of it but they obviously can't throw everything on Ukraine and need to have some of their jets, tanks, helicopters spread around the country for defense purposes. Ukraine on the other hand can use everything they have just for this war (ok they also need some of it at the boarder to Belarus)

The support just can't freeze or stop from any country. Russia increased their military budged enormous for next year

They also need some (albeit a smaller amount) on the border with Moldova to cover the risk of the Russian troops stationed in Transnistria launching an attack.

That said, I think it only something like 1500 troops Russia has in Transnistria and its not like they can bolster or resupply that garrison. Would ultimately be more a raid or diversion if they did attack but still something Ukraine needs to keep an eye on.
