I think Ukraine has plenty of manpower. They mobilized their entire population and have around 700,000 fighters.
What Ukraine doesn’t have is air and artillery support. There is no way an offensive will succeed if you are attacking someone with superiour firepower. Guys with rifles & javelins can defend cities against Russians, but this won’t help them retake cities.
