Embarrassing Putin, opening up a new front and gaining a valuable piece of territory for potential negotiations for the return of annexed Ukrainian territory.
Not to mention the morale boost to Ukrainian troops.
Embarrassing Putin at home cannot be overstated. People want their government to provide security and allow them to live and work, so this is disrupting daily life and making the Russian people nervous.
