To point 1, the rubbling of cities will make for much more dangerous block to block urban combat. Experts seem to think you need good supply lines and a 6 to 1 numerical advantage to win in urban guerrilla combat as the attacker. The 2nd Chechen war was ~15 years ago, the Russians have no real experience doing this. That’s why they’re recruiting Syrians. The Ukrainian defenders were trained by NATO based on urban combat doctrine developed in Fallujah and Syria. The Ukrainians could feasibly bleed the Russians until they’re out of combat ready units. Ultimately it’s going to be a slow rolling atrocity, and there’s no way to know what next week will look like.
