There was a degree of incompetence involved, which should not be seen at this stage of the war. Mistakes that simply cannot be made. Some mistakes by commanders of the area, and some made by the higher organization of the military.
We may be looking at the preliminary phase, Russia forcing the Ukrainian army to make a choice of where to send their reinforcements. When the real offensive begins, Russia wants to have secured as many Ukrainian reserves as possible. Compared to the beginning of the war, Russian troops are less well-trained. Recently, Russia seems unable to mount large-scale attacks in which multiple brigades work well together.

Can the first situation have something to do with corruption ?
Second part-If Russia has to take the entire Ukraine they need to change the way they fight a war.
