What stocks likely to be held on west bank of Dnipro ?

Just asking for people's opinion of how many supplies will have been stock-piled to support Russian troops. There are - for me - many pro/contra points.

The area was clearly at risk of being cut-off, so does that mean you pour in more or less supplies? Logically since the troop contingent was reinforced, it would be reasonable to increase supplies, but at the same time the whole area is within range of UKR weapons and they have been successful in destroying supply dumps. Speculating - with no military experience - I would not expect large supply-dumps so close to the front-lines (maybe enough for a few days ), but that should mean that the Russian forces will be out of food, ammo and perhaps fuel by mid-week. I have read the post speaking of supply by helicopter, that seems a truly risky and completely inadequate measure when there are 25 000 troops and heavy armaments involved.
