Russia is not fully mobilizing cause that will hurt his standing with the population and weaken his grip on power.
More so when the body bags start to mount.
Ukranians on the other hand are much more motivated to fight to defend their homeland.
The Russians have activated their professional army - they are throwing all of their best trained units into the Ukraine fight - over 160,000 deployed and they will need to be rotated out in a month or two with fresh troops. A deceleration of war and general mobilization would essentially institute a draft in Russia. This means that their 1 million strong professional military is not enough to take eastern Ukraine.
