It is not only the #Yampil front advancing on the #Russian side, but the operational pause on the #Izum front seems to be over, as heavy attacks continue from that direction. Pressure is being maintained on #Ukraine on the eastern front itself, & around the axis for a big, medium 
and small encirclement. This is an effort to collapse #Ukrainian defenders. If they reposition to stop encirclements, their front can collapse. At the same time, even if they reposition, they are never sure which route #Russia is taking. The downside for #Russia is manpower,
of course, it is in very short supply as it is and it cannot concentrate it in one knockout effort, but with strategic surprise being so impossible in this internet age and level of coverage, combined with the slow advance speeds, RU is probably correct that advancing on multiple
fronts at the same time, and reinforcing success, while keeping pressure everywhere is likely the correct strategy in the east and #Donbass. A strategy I assumed earlier it would take due to the expected nature of pincer movement.
