Blue but understanding that's a hard road to follow. 

The fall of the Surovikin Line is significant and it took a while and a lot of resources, but it's significant to be sure. 

I saw a few interviews with Ukrainian Generals asking what's next, would there now be an exploiting of the situation before the muddy season and the general response from them was "No".

The UAF intention is to continue as they were.  They don't intend to halt the campaigning season at October and will press in the mud, with infantry and dispersed as they have been.  The Russians are fighting the same way and now that they're past the deepest works they intend to keep doing what got them there.

They also don't want to abandon their pushes in Bakhmut, especially after the disaster that the Russians put themselves in at Andriivka.

As as has been said there, Ukraine is going to fight the war their way.

Nations tend to use tactics/strategy gleaned from lessons learned from their last war. Winners tend to learn far less than the losers. It looks like the Ukraine is applying the lessons from their defeat last go round with the ruskies.

Ukraine will do alright. From what we are seeing I'd say they are intent on not just getting their country back, but also to bloody Russia so bad it will hesitate to ever do this again against the Ukraine.

This is a photo taken in December 2022 (frost is visible).  Could be worse now.
