The Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Putin's army is seeking to seize as much territory as possible in Donetsk, as well as to come close to Zaporizhia, Dnepr, Sumy and Kharkov.

As reported by NBN with reference to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the active phase of the “liberators'” offensive in the eastern part of Ukraine, judging by everything, will end within the next months or weeks, but the occupiers will try to continue identical operations at a significantly lower pace.
Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War are confident that the “second army of the world” does not have enough “manpower” and material resources to maintain a high intensity of offensive operations in the long term.
In particular, despite the fact that the Russian occupation army captured Vuhledar in Donetsk region, taking a relatively promising tactical position, this “success” will not radically change the situation in this section of the front line.
Also, the offensive of the Russian Federation, aimed at performing operationally significant tasks, for example, capturing Chasovy Yar or displacing the Defense Forces from the left (eastern) bank of the Oskol, either stalled or led to too slow and insignificant achievements.
The ISW summarized:
The Russian Federation can continue the offensive at a much lower pace throughout Ukraine in the hope that constant pressure will not allow Ukrainian forces to accumulate the personnel and resources needed to seize the initiative.
Earlier we wrote about the ISW showing the “progress” of the occupiers' offensive after the capture of Ugledar.
