Russian invasion of Ukraine

Just had a fascinating chat with an old friend who works for a political / military consultancy.
He reckons Russia is doing the impossible, losing many more men than Ukraine is when Ukraine is attacking.
Ukraine takes a trench, then Russia immediately tries to take it back with a counter attack losing loads of men in the process - often with those who retreat getting shot by blocking units.
Rinse and repeat.
Russian Reserves are draining away rather quickly.
He reckons Ukraine would be crazy to force a breakthrough now - they should do what they are doing now and wait a month or so before attacking a weakened spot on the line by then they should lowly have got to the secind line of defence in a few places.
He further reckons Russia will have to run a new draft very soon or the meat grinder will run out of meat!
That last sentence could be why the front line doesn't move much. The Russians will be emboldened with another two hundred thousand recruits
