I think it's safe to assume that ukraine has already suffered tremendous casualties - we know that was one point of disagreement between us planners and ukranian commanders that hampered the counteroffensive over the summer. This slow rolling retreat - except for when they just drop their shit and bolt in civvy clothes, is as best as russia can take advantage of that misfortune. Two months from now they'll be even less capable of taking advantage - as the attritional phases of this war have seen russias force and force projection fade while ukraine gains new tech, new ability, and much more experience - owing in large part to the ukranian strategy of husbanding their resources even when it pisses off their american partners.
