I don't understand why UA leadership continuously equip and man new, inexperienced brigades rather than replenishing existing and capable brigades. It is more difficult to build new brigades because it needs not only privates but also NCOs and officers. And they are harder to raise. Maybe there's a problem that they cannot pull out latters because of pressures put on the frontline, but it still seems more sensible to deploy inexperienced soldiers under experienced and capable leaderships rather than deploy them under inexperienced or terrible leaderships. Even inexperienced, or incapable soldiers can do something better under great leadership.
I read just one argument in favour of creating new brigades: to rotate a brigade as a whole unit (and not by a battalion or even by a company), its zone of responsibility should be given to another brigade, To do that, there should be spare (reserve) brigades.
I think UA generals are perfectly aware of downsides here - hence some reasons exist for actions. It might be better aligned with significant part of training taking place outside UA.

But it looks like a weak argument to me.

Judicious and careful analysis, thank you.
