I reckon Russia will try its usual tactic of trying to fudge this i.e. keep those who are forward deployed in situ, and try to swop out those which aren't. It appears their broader plan is to call up experienced reservists, and the entirety of the Wagner operation, to try and generate some momentum on the ground.
