The U.S. estimates that Russian President Vladimir Putin has "around 75 percent of his total military committed to the fight in Ukraine," the official said, clarifying later that the 75 percent figure mostly refers to "battalion tactical groups, which is the units that he has primarily relied upon."

Later in the article, it quotes this article: https://cepa.org/the-next-10-days-will-decide-this-war/

There is no suggestion that the Russians have big units lurking in the woods somewhere (and the Pentagon has said it sees no signs of significant reinforcements.) So it’s apparent that the notional 900,000 strength of the Russian military is a hollow number. 

Elsewhere, on twitter (so take it with a grain of salt) there were reports of Russian soldiers self-mutilating by shooting themselves in the foot to avoid going to the front.
