As pointed out above, their organic logistics train per division aren't structured or tailored to provide deep mobile ops. Even the peacetime ToE would limit their divisions to about 90-100 miles from the railhead, and that's before they got a bunch of stuff shot up in the last six weeks.
Ukraine is only about 300 miles wide. If they can improve that by 50% they can do pincer movements that can cut Ukraine in 2.
They will need to merge divisions and reorganize their deployable formations. The key is do they have people with the organizational skill to pull that off, and how long will it take?
