In addition to what Wilshire said, I have also read that it is likely strategic for Ukraine to have the bridgehead but not expand it massively. Namely as it allows them to stay in range of artillery from the right bank. If the bridgehead can continue to be a bulwark and dish out damage via raids or just by defending under favorable conditions, it is doing it's job in an attritional war.
