The link don't actually show the 2025 invading across the river plan. I believe Russia aim to grind down rest of Donbass is pretty obvious. There is no mention of 2nd battle of Kiev and invading west of river.

Some of the exploits of the Klen Battalion, their UAVs and BMD-4s. The 100mm gun of the BMD-4 is used in conjunction with UAV support for fire effect against Ukrainian assaults and strongholds in the Verbove front. The Klen or Maple Battalion is a special force detachment of the 247th Cossacks VDV Regiment, currently defending the Rabotino and Verbove sector. The Maple Battalion provides UAV targeting and FPV drone attacks, but they also use the BMD-4M with it's 100mm gun as fire support.

Drone training is institutionalized now in Russia as part of voluntary military training in 'Warrior' centers.

Russians are making big land grabs, I guess that shows how much forces Ukraine has left and raising the ukrainian conscript age from 33 to 43 years old in a 20 month timeframe according to Time magazine. Can 50+ year olds put up a good fight by 2025?
the only value of these two towns is to reinforce bakhmut's southern flank. even if the tweet were true russia is only improving its defensive posture.
the front to watch right now, other than avdeevka and kupyansk, is kherson. I am not sure why ukraine insists on attacking across the river there. but if they were successful in securing their beach head and attack in depth, there is a significant risk that if their attacking force loses momentum they could be stuck on the left bank without adequate supply.
Ukraine was consuming about 7-8,000 shells per day during their offensive, which has largely culminated. They obviously need far less when defending, but it is debatable whether there will be enough ammunition to support another offensive next year.
