Yes, we used to call it the devil’s choice or Sophie’s choice. If you can maintain pressure on multiple locations while your enemy struggles then they will be forced to give up some places as they prioritize their defenses. It’s also why offense is generally seen as better war fighting than defense. If I can get you reacting to me then all I have to do is wait for you to react wrongly or take some bait I left out. Then I can apply a massive amount of pressure to a small area of the front line.
This has already happened multiple times and the only reason the Ukrainians are only making limited headway is the extra deep minefields that can’t be breached quickly.
