Because it worked so well the last time? Aren't most of the experienced and competent Russian military leaders dead? It's mostly conscripted soldiers now. Russia is trying to win with numbers alone and I'm not sure that works anymore.

You'd think after going through 2 world wars, losing millions of soldiers, Russia would have learned something. It's amazing how history seems to repeat itself.

In fairness, you could say they learned that it works. They have the population base and vastness of territory to grind things out and move stuff behind the front lines if necessary.
