The problem with brute forcing a passage through a minefield is that the equipment used isn't heavily armored and is vulnerable to air attack. The Ukrainians already tried it and got swarmed by Russian helicopters. Air superiority on the Ukrainian side will keep the Russian airforce at bay and suppress any artillery attacks.
So the Ukrainians have opted for Finesse over Force. Takes longer but in this case more effective.
