Considering the previous mobilization that numbered in the few hundreds of thousands region at the most, Russia probably lacks the ability to mobilize, equip and provide even a short refeesh training to a two million strong reserve. Especially given the equipment losses they've taken such as...

And if Ukrainians retake all the territory including Crimea, it'll most likely put the pressure can in Kreml to overdrive setting and be the opening shot of a coup which ends in Putin dead. Because that would have meant that Putin squandered away Russia's reputation as the number 2 military in...
