Why doesn’t Putin commit his 300,000 reserves and end this madness by taking Kiev? Is Putin a smarter man than I? Does he know that those troops are better serving Russia by manning the non Ukrainian part of the NATO/Russian frontier. Could Putin be anticipating a maniacal NATO move from Poland into Belarus?
Some have said the DS has to get WWIII going before the elections. This is a good start. Putin is certainly not going to take this lying down.
300,000 reserves?
They dont exist. Russia cant take Kiev. If they could have they would have, or at least the East Bank of the Dneiper, long, long ago.
NATO is turning Poland into an aircraft carrier with all the troops the US can muster without a declaration of war.
Poland has started to lessen it’s aggressive anti-Russian BS.
As for why, is anyone’s guess. Russia is very methodical in their destruction of the AFU. If they commit all their troops they have push into defensive positions.
Instead, they just sit back and lob artillery and FABs, with the occasional missile or drone, they can pick the AFU apart without large losses of manpower.
They maintain constant pressure on the front lines, but they are wasting lives with hugh attacks. Russia has opted for a guerrilla war up to 50km deep in Ukraine in the past few months. With the FABs appearance in Dec and operational use in Janurary 24, the defensive lines of the AFU do not hold.

Could putin be worried about his own interior, but I thought manpower was no issue for Russia?
I was going to say: because they are 6 feet under but in this case they actually were just left to rot.
