Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is entering a new phase, promising a more deadly time ahead for the country’s civilians and its remarkably determined army.
Early signs are that Russian commanders are abandoning the approach that marked the first days of the conflict, in which they relied on lightning strikes into cities they assumed would be half-heartedly defended, the officials said.

After multiple failures, officials from the US and allied nations expect Russia to use more indiscriminate tactics to suppress resistance.
After pausing to regroup and draw new assets into place around the capital, the ISW expects Russian forces to relaunch their attack on the capital, Kyiv. The new phase is thought to play out over several days.
Upcoming Russian offense could be too much for Ukrainian forces to win in Kyiv.
Ukrainian government likely to relocate further West, if they even have the room to escape.

I agree with @KofmanMichael about that this war is going to get far more uglier and brutal.
Ukrainian forces punched above their weight but we are now going to see core parts of the Russian military getting involved. This sinister atmosphere reminds me of Grozny in 1994.
