I believe the Ukrainians are indeed in a tactical pause on the eastern front and for partially those exact reasons. They also need to reroute logistical services, clean up pockets of Russian survivors/stragglers, and move up additional territorial defense brigades to hold the ground taken. All things the Russians did not do.
The destruction they unleashed on the Russians probably gives Ukraine 72hrs to a week before the Russians are ready to fight again on that front.

Well I hope they (Ukrainians), take a brief break, to resupply, rest, and rearm.
Then move on.
I think they will, as they have an object lesson in overreaching, and moving without strong supply lines. aka the Russians..
