#1  I think a lot of the current Ukraine effort is going into destroying Russia's fuel supply. Ukraine has achieved some success with this since their drone capability has improved.

Not sure how effective this will be on the front lines but certainly it will limit Russia's tank, APC units as well as massively messing up the Russian army's logistics.
