It's more to destroy infrastructure and make incursions into or out of the area much harder essentially giving Russia a choice to either take back the area and have a front separated from Russia proper by water with no bridges or give up the area until you can build up a force to push back.
Either way the front in that area is pushed farther away from Ukrainian territory for the foreseeable future.
