This is hardly the first Ukrainian offensive.
If they did it before, why shouldn’t they do it again, being better equipped and supplied?

Agreed, although they will be equipped with Western gear, their experienced NCO’s and Officers have been largely “ reduced”, I don’t expect much from a bunch of 18-60 year olds pressed into service with very minimal training.
It is quite obvious the collective West is willing to fight to the very last Ukrainian ( as stated), it appears the slaughter will continue.
I doubt your assumption that the Ukes lack cadre.
This is a dynamic process, not a fixed condition. Training at all levels has been going on, and probably more usefully, a lot of “green” units have been in operations and in combat over the last year.
Ukraine has a lot of veterans by now, and highly likely a large number of experienced nco’s and junior officers have risen from the ranks. That happens in all wars.
You’ll be surprised who will actually lead it....or maybe not, but I bet language translators are getting hazard pay.
