Anyway.
The responsible thing.
As Zaluzhny stopped the doomed armoured column attacks after less than a week, because they realized they just get their vehicle park wrecked... He/they should have stopped similarly the small unit operations after the first couple of results, which proved that they have to pay way too high price for way little gains. Gains with no operational, strategical, and not even tactical importance.
They should have conserve life and equipment.
That is for sure. And beyond perhaps sit down to the negotiating table (with a sizeable fighting force behind their backs).
Ofc it's easy to be wise after the fact, but still. They had data.
