If Russia doesn’t figure out some way to build a defensive line, and at the moment they seem to be in a total route, then Ukraine could end up liberating most of Luhansk oblast in the next few days.
The issue is that their units do not normally operate with each other, so now under emergency circumstances they have great difficulty communicating. As a result, the officers don’t know where to go or who to report to. And the disconnect between soldier and officer doesn’t help
Even if they can figure out the officer problem, the officer may not even have soldiers around to control. They are fleeing and falling into disarray. And even if they did all somehow come together, they have a catastrophic lack of infantry.
The casualty numbers I see are in the 8000-10000 range. That is dead, wounded, prisoner of war, desertion, etc.
