Basically, it means some 300,000 people would be called into service, according to Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. But while Mr Putin's incendiary speech has sent shock waves across western nations, there are two issues that might provide more context on the gruelling war in Ukraine.The mobilisation comes a day after Russian-controlled regions in eastern and southern Ukraine announced plans to hold votes on becoming parts of Russia.

There is nothing 'partial' in the detail of the military mobilisation. The 'partial' word was added in by Putin to make it seem less serious but the Ruzzian military now has the authority to mobilise 300,000 or 3,000,000. 🙄 The only thing they lack is the logistics.

More fertiliser for sunflowers in Ukraine and more orders for Ladas.

Definitley not a good news for the Russians.

I cannot wait to see putins head on a stick and his face Gaddafied

We are on the brink of nuclear war, just like the Cuban crisis with JFK.

Putin is the biggest threat to our Earth village.

It means that it’s time to send Ukraine the Bushmasters and Hawkeis they need to finish the job on Putin. SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

More cannon fodder and body bags full of Russians

It means Putin is pretty sure he’s about to “fall” out a very high window.

ha ha ha ha Operation Surge - Russian style. The track record of super-powers winning wars with their big tech of late continues.

It means they are losing.

‘Russia’s partial military mobilisation’ means, it is ready to deploy Russia Security Forces to facilitate the upcoming (referendum) annexation of Ukraine territories.

“When the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, to protect Russia and our people, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal.' You’re threatened? Dude YOU invaded Ukraine! You fucked this up for everyone, don’t play the victim 😡

Threat of using every weapon available to win the war ! World leaders toughen their resolve and nuclear war is inevitable, the warmongers have their way. Climate change and the energy crisis will pale into insignificance !

Putin is showing desperation.

I think Putin is digging the Ukranian hole deeper than he thought necessary, before he would need to take the N option. That option, I'm certain, is looking more attractive every day.

More meat for the grinder

Dunno, will ask my wife

my guess is they are breaking out the adolescent 15-16 year olds

It means Ukraine is toast.
