Pretty sure there is something between the present and mobilization.
Hell, they could have used artillery to level Kiev to the ground. Why they didn't, but particularly why creeps like Von der Leyen are safe walking the streets of Kiev as they work with the genocidal regime in Azerbaijan, is a mystery.
Russia is actually running a hearts and minds campaign. If they wanted to level Ukraine, they could do so in a matter of days. But Ukraine isn’t a middle eastern shithole thousands of miles away. It’s an ethnically Russian neighbor state.
This is some major cope.
Russian convoys were getting hit nonstop during their run on Kyiv, because russians didn't take major cities between border and Kyiv. Literally had thousands of Ukranian troops in their rear.
And Russians are trying to level cities. Because they cannot capture them in any other way.
Mariupol, Severodonetsk. Completely destroyed. Kharkiv is under daily shelling.
Russians are now being pushed in the North. Ukraine has recaptured more land in the last week than Russia captured in in the last 4 months.
they could have used artillery to level Kiev to the ground.
Russia never had a lot of artillery in range of Kiev, let alone the logistics capacity to bring up enough ammo to do much damage to Kiev. They only had a small number spread out in range of the outskirts, and they were constantly forced to use it defensively since they were overextended and trying to hold on to their overextended lines for a few weeks until they withdrew.
Russia's "big artillery" offensive around Lysychans'k later was only possible because that area was much closer to Russian logistics hubs so they could move up a huge volume of artillery ammo every day. This wasn't possible anywhere near Kiev. I'm sure you remember the "convoy" of miles and miles of backed up russian vehicles in the first weeks of the war, that was because the attack on Kiev had no rail support, so Russia was forced to inefficiently use their inadequate truck transport over a long distance on one small road.
I'm still shocked at how weak Russia is. I understand Ukraine got a lot of help but still I'm surprised.
They are holding back.
what the fuck you think the war is, Ballons TD? Russia threw everything they could. Only escalations can be: mobilization or nukes.

Stop coping and look at the reality.
