Ukraine hopes to build troop strength and establish at least 10 brigades, many of them mechanized by early 2025.
I would note that 10 brigades is probably enough to keep chewing up Russian offensives, but it's at least 4-8 brigades short of what Ukraine would need to recapture and hold lost territory.

I wonder if this is the cause of the rift between the US DoD and AFU? Ukraine appears to be fighting a war of attrition, and I doubt the Pentagon thinks that's the way to go.
They need more brigades to hold territory, and should be attacking forward staging areas like they did this week cutting off logistics to Crimea.
