Even further quick reaction forces are being called up to bolster these sections of Frontline fighting. Good thing that Ukrainian forces have an amazing operational rotation so we are going to see Russian forces ending up meeting a stiff amount of resistance. However allowing Russian forces to continue advancing and exposing attacking elements just means these attacking elements are able to be targeted. So in a way it is really good that Russian forces are exposing themselves and we can then see the Ukrainian forces working on countering the advances. On the west side of the city high ground dominates which basically makes this entire area it kill zone. Tactically giving up ground and using the drain to your advantage is an exceptionally important skill that the Ukrainian military has continued to learn. Even though Russian forces are advancing and taking small gains it really doesn't matter as Ukrainian forces have taken exceptionally in large amounts of territory recently and can't afford to give up small little chunks in order to cause untold damage upon advancing forces.
