Other things aside, the style of war Russia is engaged in has little to do with the lack of (or neglect of or unimportance of) cyber aspect, it has more to do with the fact that Russian officials did not expect a war at all. For them it was more of "freeing good population from their bad and corrupt government", to the point that some troops had their parade uniform when going to Ukraine, to celebrate rather than to fight.
So the physical presence was a requirement since it is hard to parade remotely ;-)
[EDIT] Clarify the point

There have been some reports of activity but I found it interesting how what was widely predicted to be a major threat has been so marginal.
