The devastating thing about the situation is that Russia obviously has enough forces for these offensives in the East. Many had hoped that Ukraine's offensive in the central area would lead to the Russians using their last reserves in defense there. They actually moved mainly airborne units into the central area, but these were apparently enough to maintain the defense. Ukraine has not yet achieved a breakthrough, and the Russians were even able to provide additional forces for the offensive in Donetsk.

For example, if Ukraine had had long-range surface-to-surface missiles, such as the American Atacms, which are a recurring topic, then the Russian staging areas could have been targeted in depth before the offensive even started. But the Ukrainian troops couldn't do that because these long-range missiles have not yet been delivered.
Mind you, Ukriane got only a few ATACMS, and these with a reduced range only, 160km I think. NOT 300 km.
