Good comment, especially regarding the relationship between the need to maintain momentum on the one hand, and the risk of exceeding the culmination point on the other.

To me it looks like Russia reached its culmination point soon after the capture of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

All terrain captured afterwards came at a high cost of mostly replaceable assault infantry, but mostly not replaceable AFVs. We will see during the Ukrainian counteroffensive if Russia has indeed used too much of its mobile and armored units during the offensives since then.
