As opposed to inflicting more damage on Russia? I'm curious about why you think that so I understand better.
I'm doubtful Ukraine wins a war of attrition ... regardless of how much damage is inflicted. IMO Ukraine's best chance is a fighting retreat in the East and a credible offensive in the South that threatens the Crimea land bridge. If Ukraine can't do the later, the war ultimately devolves into a multi-year stalemate with inconsequential offensives, counter-offensives, and artillery duels. Hope I'm wrong but my dos centavos.
