Their whole economy revolves around agriculture alongside the Dnipro, controlling the dams that distribute the water is the key here. Russia being close to the river tells me theyre cooked

Exactly, also all the industry is in the east as well. Worth noting too that Russia would be able to shell stuff across the river, so they don't even have to cross the Dnepr to make that territory a gray zone that Ukraine can't use productively.
