I don't think it was full out from Russia's side. They could still mobilize millions and use nukes. They haven't really bombed Kyiv's critical infrastructures and government buildings, for example president's office.

I think Putin will bet it all on full out war to conquer Ukraine in 2023. I wish I would be wrong.

Russia is short of missiles. They already need to buy drones to Iran.

Some infrastructure is not destroyed so easily and those are weapons not used on military targets.

If you mobilize millons:

A) there wouldn't be weapons, uniforms, rations, training for them.

B) Russian logistic is already their weak link. They would increase the need to ship the supplies.

C) who is going to keep the country working. Their economy world collapse

D) a lot of angry people with weapons is a recipe for the revolution
