The battle for the tiny village of Robotyne took twelve weeks, and has not yet entirely ended. Robotyne appears to have fallen to the Ukrainians, in the sense that the Russians have withdrawn their drone squads and artillery from Robotyne
But it took them a while. And meanwhile the Russians have been building more lines of defense. Even if you are advancing, if you are advancing so painfully slowly and at such enormous cost, the prospect of breaking through is not looking good. So the Ukrainians are still stuck in war of attrition, and though they may be gaining turf, they are losing the war of attrition. They are now conscripting the sick, the old, and women.
