The way I understand it is Ukraine is trying to cut off the bridges that supply Rusdian forces through Crimea making them route their supply lines through the much more vulnerable regions they’ve invaded on the main land. Aircraft and long-range drones would’ve made that task of shaping the battle field easier in the build up to the counter offensive, rather than doing it after everything got put in motion, but they are still slowly doing it.
Hopefully at some point the Russians just won’t have the supplies to put up a consistent fight across the whole front line and Ukraine can break through and roll them up. The less optimistic side of me says it’s going to be another long winter in Ukraine though.
