    That is probably one of the reasons the others are maybe:

    • force Russia to redeploy troops from the front further south
    • force Russia to guard the entire border seriously, hence using more soldiers
    • make Putin look weak within Russia and abroad(this has a lot of consequences, mostly good for Ukraine
    • take prisoners for exchange

      If they get far enough into Russian territory:

      Cut off supply routes to the front.

      Flank Russian fortified defensive positions.
