Replying to @DanLamothe
Russia now has 100 percent of the forces it assembled prior to invading committed to the fight. It has under 90 percent of those forces available to them, after taking losses, senior U.S. defense official says.

A lot of people have been reading that as 100% of Putin's military. It is more like 100% of 25% of his active military. The math matters in the way you think about the war.
