If the Ukrainian army has been reduced as you state, there would be no reason to pulverize anything.

Why take losses if you don't have to? Just shell the crap out of them then mop up when they're worn down.

But there is nothing to shell according to u. Makes no sense unless there is substantial resistance which there is and is why the war is not over by a longshit.
