"According to the Times, “the Ukrainian soldiers were excited” about the attack. “If they survived the war, their mission would be one to tell their grandchildren about, an officer involved said.” The idea was that this would be an infantry-only battle. “They wouldn’t be able to use artillery against us, as this is a nuclear plant,” the officer reportedly said. The soldiers were drawn from Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR) and included the Shaman battalion, the Kraken Regiment and the Ukrainian Foreign Legion. They were “already battle-hardened” but “none of them expected the resistance they would face at the power plant”."
They are learning that a stronger force is necessary, as well as the greater area of the objective. Widening the buffer zone would make the logistics more resilient, is what they're planning as I suspect. Notice, however, the previous excessive optimism. It is now repeated on a grander scale.
