Likely expecting to have T-90s near their border pretty soon. If this is the case, they might need every last bullet they can scrounge, instead of wasting everything in the crossdressing clown's grift.
Although there are media groups out there that want to portray Russia as some war hungry maniac country that wants to invade everyone around them for any reason, that really isn't the case. There are valid economic and security reason for Russia wanting to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence. However, those same reasons do not apply to Poland. Economically, Poland is completely separate from Russia. Security wise, a buffer state to defend against an invasion from Western Europe might be a benefit as it was in the Soviet era, but that era is over and the threats to Russia are no longer the same. For example, the German army is at the moment completely in shambles and incapable of invading anyone. Furthermore, if Russia was not able to quickly subdue Ukraine, a country that at the start of the war had a really underfunded and corrupt military (it's still corrupt but is getting a lot of money from the US now), it's not at all clear how easy it would be to subdue a country with a far more modern and better funded military.
