    Yes, but Russia still have to guard its borders with with NATO, it limits available troops.

    Ukrainian offensive power is almost nonexistent at this point, but taking a month to take one town is too slow to have strategic impact, Ukraine gets enough time to build another defensive line slightly farther.

      NATO has already sent all they’ve got to Ukraine. NATO is in no position to mount any sort of attack on Russia at this time. This is openly admitted in western media I might add https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/europes-weak-armed-forces-could-be-washed-away-by-russia-bmxbc22gc

      I don’t see what you base the statement that taking a month to take a heavily fortified town is slow. It’s completely absurd to claim that Ukraine can just build another Avdievka in a month. These fortifications took eight years to build. And it’s not like Ukraine has any meaningful industrial capacity at this point either. For one, Ukrainian energy grid is on its last legs. You can’t do any manufacturing, such as concrete production, without electricity.
