Maybe but I doubt it, I think it's just to send Putin a message that Ukraine can do this, and the longer it drags on, the more embarrassing it is for Putin, because it suggests that Russia is having major manpower shortage, that too many are on the front line that it's taking so long to retake territory that for Russia, should be very easy for them to retake, but clearly, time is passing by and Russia doesn't seem to be able to respond, that's sending a powerful message to the world that Russia is a lot weaker than what Putin wants us to think, and that's more or less the theme of this war, Putin showing that Russia is far weaker than what the west and the world thought it was, and the longer this war drags on, the more embarrassing it gets for Putin.
