All the majestic Russian victories and massive Ukrainian losses are getting closer and closer to Crimea, how could this be?

Its weird that Russia is holding back this much considering how hard they went in the Chechen wars. Is there a reason, other than gay legalism that they wouldnt pull the trigger?

Hmm. Thats what so many people are wondering. Its not like he doesnt know how to wage war. Maybe, just maybe, they are holding back because of what the EU and Nato might do as response? Europe hasn't seen a proper Land army, let alone war since ww2 and it was absolutely devastating. Maybe its not necessary. Or maybe no one actually wants to fight a massive war again.

But the EU and US are already supplying arms to Ukraine. Its already a proxy war, sending in an actual army wont escalate it more when NATO says its a war. The only possible reason I can think of is if Russia thinks they can outlast Europe through the winter, pressuring them to stop aiding Ukraine. Its very naive because European leadership doesnt care about freezing or starving their people as we've clearly seen in the last few years.

Russia went in with a smaller force (of also volunteers) in both of the Chechen Wars. They also leveled entire cities in Ukraine and massacred civilians, take Mariupol and Bucha for example. Kiev would make Grozny blush if Russians realized their original plans and attacked the city. They're not holding anything back.
If what you're asking is why they aren't sending forces stationed in other theatres or enacting some kind of mobilization; the answer to the former would be that they need them to both supress their dissident population and ensure border security, the answer to the latter would be because even Putin can see that it would lead to him being overthrown.
