Hopefully the Ukrainian military thought this all through in advance and had a good idea of where those reinforcements will come from, and have some surprises in store for them.
To armchair general for a bit- they send out small, fast, agile squads in all directions that make a show of fighting then rapidly retreat. The enemy follows into dug in positions and a sky full of drones. Repeat until you’ve put enough of a dent into the enemy then massively counterattack the direction most of the enemy is coming from.
Why counter attack (with the majority of forces) right away? Russians have shown poorer abilities when organizing offensives compared to defending. The incursion into Russia by Ukraine forces the Russian military into attacking. This is as opposed to sitting behind a thousand minefields in unmoving lines inside Ukraine.
Ukraine can set up elaborate layered defenses and enjoy the defensive advantage to grind up more Russian military assets. This also gives Ukraine opportunities for small detachments to hit the Russian reinforcements on the move, which is something they’ve already been doing.
