Although Russians can be difficult to read, I think Putin is proceeding very cautiously by starving his commander of troops. Putin's worst nightmare is generalship like WW1's Brusilov who was militarily successful at the cost of fatally weakening the belief in the Russian supreme leader. In my opinion, Putin is currently very far from desperate, but were he to become so I very much doubt his preferred option would be throwing myriads of troops into a 'neck of nothing' offensive. Nor would he ask for terms.

Kherson in Ukrainian hands lets Russia of the hook of trying to get artillery ammunition through easily targeted bottlenecks across the river. Russia if well suppled can win artillery duels by mass effect, as is now being demonstrated in Kherson where the Ukrainians can't concentrate. Defeating Russia in a battle of attrition is not a very good strategy in my opinion. Perhaps that is why we hear so much talk about a Russian collapse. Rely on it, we will have a long wait.
