Putin reacts to losses in the Ukraine war with old Soviet tactics. Russia should rely on an old Soviet fighting theory in order to get moving again and avoid further high casualties.

Russian armed forces cannot currently conceal their troop concentrations. Russian troops would attack along the entire front line, the situation was “difficult” and “quite tense”.
