Both sides have basically exhausted their high-speed, mechanized maneuver elements. So any Russian offensive or Ukrainian counter-offensive isn't going to look like a modern mech offensive.

The Ukrainians are going to take advantage of the Russian strategic disadvantage of having an unsupportable bridgehead over the Dnieper. It doesn't have to be fast or pretty because the river itself puts the Russians in a very poor position. A Ukrainian counteroffensive is likely to be slow and painstaking, but also almost inevitably successful. It just doesn't make sense for the Russians to keep hanging on to a salient that is indefensible long term.

BS. You obviously don’t have the grasp of the situation.
