For those unfamiliar with the current tactical plays going on here, it typically involves send a pair or a small handful of Russians on bikes, scooters, or by foot, shuttling them across a field where they wait to aggregate more forces. There are no more squad-sized assaults, since those get droned immediately. This map would make zero sense if a unified force was trying to take or hold. Instead, each arrow represents a small team of Russians who are trying to outrun drones and artillery fire. The land behind them is not secured, which is exactly why the Ukrainians are not disputing control over Perebudova, which is about 5 miles (or over 7.5kms) from undisputed Ukrainian-controlled territory.
The Russian gains are only secured by a constant trickle of new soldiers streaming through, but their true defensive lines are still back where they were last year. Since they are waiting until the winter to move their defensive lines forward, the Ukrainians are having an unusually easy time pushing back what would otherwise appear to be a runaway offensive.
