The other goal was to protect the LDNR. Kherson is not part of the LDNR.

Ukraine will not run out of resources for a LONG time unless Russia gets effective with interdiction. The only quick way to end this war is to close the Ukraine border with the west. It will take a large army, sure, but if Russia does intend to take Ukraine, the fastest way to do it is to close their borders. The Ukraine army will not last more then a month without supply from the West. If they do not do this the fighting can go on indefinitely.
Ukropisstain can't fight if it doesn't have enough soldiers... 6-7 rounds of conscription and millions fleeing to both Russia and EU mean that the banderites will have increasing difficulties trying to replace their lost troops - you just can't squeeze blood from a stone, and Ukropistan is just about tapped out in regards to available useful manpower (nations that need to conscript old men in their 60s and women ain't got much gas left in the tank). Russia needs to keep turning Ukro orcs into red mist... the rest will sort itself out.
