Some day sago media rumoured that Putin issues kind of an ultimatum to Shoigu to start an attack, just any attack, on any Ukrianian city, no matter the cost, in a bid to regain initiave and/or to force Ukraine to divert forces it uses in its own offensive. The claimed russian offensive may be expression of that ultimatum, if it was real. That would possibly imply that the the Russians indeed support this offensive desperately and with just anything they can scratch together, which currently is not much.
Russian has announced the formation of new units. Thats a game they can do very, very, very often. It say snotrhign apout the quality of that units, but over the longer time their mere numbers may exhaust the Ukrainians.
