Your comment that "Expanding the reservist pool suggests Russia is somewhat stressed in terms of military manpower." Does that mean it applies the same for Ukraine, since Biden has made some of the U.S's reservists combat ready - Biden orders 3,000 reservists to be ready for Europe deployments

Broadly speaking, yes. The context is a little different, given Russia’s military has been fighting in Ukraine for over a year and the US is likely anticipating military involvement in that war (over and above the provision of lethal aid), but in both cases the anticipation is that greater military manpower levels are required.
