The expansion of the Russian Central Group forces in Red Army City. As long as there are no ground forces to cut off the E50 (M30) highway and the lower-grade roads in the direction of Gryazino, the Ukrainian forces in Red Army City will continue to receive supplies and reinforcements (although at a great cost due to Russian fire封锁), and maintain their defense without collapsing, which also makes the Russian progress relatively slow.
Don't think that having 100,000 Russian forces in the direction of Red Army City is a lot; in fact, it's not enough for ground operations. Because these Russian forces include personnel for fire support and logistics, and there are not many infantry actually available for assault. Moreover, these Russian forces are operating in the direction of Red Army City, not just in Red Army City itself. Red Army City is just a city, while the direction of Red Army City includes Red Army City, its satellite city Dimitrov, and the vast areas to the east, northeast, north, south, southeast, and southwest of Red Army City. The Russians need to leave a considerable number of forces on these contact lines for defense against Ukrainian counterattacks, while also continuously advancing from these directions, always feeling short of manpower.
