Bare in mind that Ukraine said their major counter attack won't start until mid-June at the earliest

Not going to happen. Some realism is needed here. The Ukraine is not in a position to start counterattacking on an organised scale.

Putin has basically made a fundamental military mistake, historically the same one General Santa Anna made when he wanted to squash the Texas revolution. Instead of bypassing the Alamo, leaving only a small occupying force there, he squandered valuable time assembling all his troops around an unimportant church for an unimportant victory. Which gave Housten all the time he needed to organise.

Same with that steel thing. Russians squandered valuable time at an unimportant steel factory for an unimportanrt victory instead of simply bypassing it. Unfortunately for the Ukranians, the time gained was not long enough to organise (and also because the right weapons were not delivered).

At this time, the Russians are at an advantage and may actually be able conquer the whole Dombass region, despite incompetence afloat in their ranks.
