The Russians have said that phase 1 is over and now they are going to begin a new phase that will mean taking Donbass. The Ukrainians are pushing back in local counter attacks but it's unclear how hard the Russians are actually trying to hold those areas, it seems they are repositioning and preparing for a new offensive.

I still expect them to try to take Dnipro and to cut the forces in the Donbass off that way, or to at least try to, once they take the rest of Izium they will be able to move south and west with much more ease. The Ukrainians might push the Russians back even further east of Kiev but I doubt they will dislodge the positions north of Kiev. The Russian lines east of Kiev are not really all that tenable as they are vulnerable to attack from many angles, it really deepens on how badly the Russians want to hold it though.
