It's possible, with all the Ukrainian troops that poured out of Lysychans'k and Severodonetsk.
The War in the Ukraine

They vary. The infantry contingent is actually surprisingly small though.
*shakes fist at the inability to get exact numbers*
They do have vehicles to operate and maintain. So that will take a good chuck. Don’t they also deal with internal logistics themselves for the entire BTG? Another decent chuck of the manpower.

The latest from Scott Ritter, who made a 180 in his opinion a few days ago because he thought the Western supplied weapons might make a huge impact. Now he made another 180, and thinks that the Russian victory in the Donbass is imminent and the war will enter its 3rd phase soon.
The Russians aren't sending their BTGs to do most of the urban fighting in these areas. That is what the Chechens and the Donbass militia are for. They basically provide fire support and help with some of the tougher spots.

Some of these Ukrainian ports are full of fertilizer too... don't need a lof of spicing for these to turn into formidable explosions. Remember what happened in Beirut.
Grains are going out by trains but regulations, insurances and bad logistics in Europe slow the progress a lot. ''Ukrainian Railways now counts more than 9,000 grain cars loaded and ready for export to other parts of Europe, but only about 450 cars a day are moving out of the country.''
There’s a river running between Severodonetsk and Lysichansk. Urban+river is a tough nut to crack. They will probably cross the river further away and flank them or more likely wait for the southwestern forces to seal the cauldron.
The failed attack of the Ukrainian special forces on the Russian armored car KamAZ "Typhoon-VDV" was caught on video. The ambush was arranged in the Kherson region, the armored car withstood the blow and continued to follow, the Ukrainian special forces did not show the frames of the destroyed car.
Footage of the combat work of Russian Su-25 attack aircraft in Ukraine. The pilots attacked strongholds of the Ukrainian army. The Russian SU-25 aircraft entered the army in 1981, despite its age, the aircraft has phenomenal reliability and incredible survivability.
One of the pilots in Ukraine showed the skill of flying the Ka-52 Alligator helicopter, the car flew over the river at an ultra-low altitude. Russian helicopter almost touched the water, flying over it a few centimeters

Ukrainians cannot ambush Russian supply lines in frequencies close to anything approaching what they could do before mostly because the supply lines presently are much less extended, and Russia is no longer hastily moving large numbers of vehicles and personnel well ahead of logistics and supplies.
Meanwhile in Severodonetsk:
I get the feeling governance under Russia wouldn't be that hard over there.
Also I ran into this great map showing all the wheat production area in Ukraine:
If the ultimate aim is to take all land east of Dnipro River + Odessa then yeah that a huge slice of the wheat belt.
