Long range ATACMS are likely to be provided soon, in the pending aid package once the Ukraine aid bill passes.

That is good news indeed.  I do not think Ukraine has forever to force Russia to end the war.  If they can't force it, they will simply be bled to death as Putin will just keep sending cannon fodder until they win.  I also think that whatever they do will have to be fairly significant on the world stage. What is the best way to do that?  From my viewpoint the only logical target would be Crimea. Take out the Kerch Bridge, force them to try and resupply by barge/ship subject to Ukraines sea drones and the long range missles we will provide. But to have any chance they have to be able to establish at least some level of airsuperiority maybe along Southern Crimea.  This would also enable them to hit Russian trenches and installations along E105 running down from Mauripol to Crimea.  Drones, longer range missles and F16's with standoff weapons can make further supply of Crimea very difficult. It would also enable Ukraine to hit Russian trenches, bunkers and other fortifications with much bigger and better warheads than in the past, giving them some chance of breaking through if they can get enough stuff across the river.
Quite possibly wishful thinking on my part, but they don't need to keep doing the same old stuff they have been doing.  Whatever they do, it won't be easy.
