There won't be a big counter attack because Russia doesn't have any significant reserve with offensive capability. Most of their best VDV troops were transferred to Kherson, where they are being slowly and systematically degraded. Their lines everywhere are not deeply defended, and often not even by regular Russian military but Wagner or separatists, so you can't exactly pull from anywhere. There's the dad's army new volunteer units. Would be cannon fodder in their first engagement.

Ukraine will choose the time and place of the major engagements for the forseeable future.
