If UKR captures many Russians, that gives them lots of leverage for trading for their own prisoners, and in other aspects should there be a negotiation. (See also the decision to encircle but not destroy the Egyptian 3rd Army in the Sinai in 1973).

For langlybaston: I believe you. I just felt that in your application of brevity (the soul of wit!) a bit too much was omitted on what IPB is. In support of your point: when I worked at a CAOC we had a full time Met Team on task 24/7. Very valuable, per your own experiences, and all were top notch.
