The U.S. military's traditional approach to this problem would be a large-scale aerial bombardment before deploying any ground troops. Something that is not available to the Ukrainian forces, even if they were given some F-16s.
So far Ukraine used their artillery to shape the battlefield. Day by day the russians get reduced and have to thin out their defences.
