The risk of overextension seemed real anyway. There’s a lot of work for Ukraine to do in the territory it just reclaimed. Set up new lines of defense, clear the remnants of Russian forces in rear areas, de-mine to the extent needed, restore infrastructure, etc. Ukraine seems to have defensible geographic boundaries with the Oskil, SD, and Bakhmutka rivers. Just hunker down in the east for winter. 

If there are gains to be had now, they’re probably in Kherson Oblast, as folks here have said. The south has a warmer climate as well, so there’s more time to advance before cold temps prevail.
