Well, this was always going to be the Ukrainian "winning strategy", theoretically.
Stop the advance while avoiding major engagements as much as possible to conserve your own strength, drain Russian forces as much as you can, hit supply lines and any units you can catch isolated, gather strength for counter-offensive, then punch back hard with the hope that it will put "poorly supplied and poorly motivated" Russian troops on the run.
Assuming there really is a significant counter-offensive about to happen and not just something smaller, we should soon know a lot more about what the overall situation really is.
EDIT: obviously a war of attrition is the other option, but obviously it's less preferable.
