edit here is an article

Unconfirmed but notice how this reality does not fit western media coverage at all.

The best Russia can hope for now is to scare Ukraine out of fighting any longer or conversely baiting Ukraine into a counterattack that they overcommit too.

The current Russian offensive is catastrophically unsustainable for the Russian warmachine, it won't work when they have fooled themselves into thinking demechanization was a good idea against artillery and that APCs are obsolete (no, Russia's APCs are obsolete, even their newest armor is still obsolete).

Ukraine will gain the operational freedom to f&$# up Russia bad soon, Ukraine needs to understand there is no more critical moment to retain poise and situational awareness, the rush of being able to decisively fight back easily overwhelms the war saturated defender's caution.

No let these coming counterattacks be calmly executed with precision to make Russia pay and not leave them a single inch to exploit in the associated manuevers.

As military analyst Stephen D. Biddle asserts, “Force em­ployment had played a more important role than either technology or prepon­derance for twentieth century war­fare.” Therefore, although military hardware matters, doctrine will have a greater role in enabling success on the battlefield.

...

Therefore, rather than narrowly apply­ing synchronization to direct and indi­rect fires, leaders must consider the synchronization of all friendly warfight­ing functions (WfFs), consisting of command and control, movement and maneuver, fires, intelligence, sustain­ment, and protection, as well as the desynchronizing of enemy WfFs.

In­telligence is its own breaching tenet, but degrading the enemy’s intelligence capability serves an equally important role. As another example, sustainment has a critical role in ensuring resources are available to the support, breach, and assault forces during all phases of the operation.

Additionally, vehicle re­covery plans are critical to prevent breach lanes from being blocked by im­mobilized vehicles. Shaping operations near Rivnopil which targeted RAF sus­tainment had both physical and moral effects on the defending company, and enabled 31st Mechanized Brigade’s assault. Thus, commanders and staffs must look beyond synchronizing friendly action and aggressively tear apart the enemy’s system.
