Many expressed confidence in their own armed forces to drive Russian troops from their country.

In the first such mobilisation in Russia since World War Two, Putin called up 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine and said Moscow would respond with the might of all its vast arsenal if the West pushed what he called its"nuclear blackmail" over the conflict there.

"I still believe Putin isn't insane, there is some rationality in him. So if nuclear weapons are used, this could endanger the existence of Russia as well as the whole world." "If they are forced to fight a war, the motivation of their soldiers will be even lower than that of the contractors," he said.

Russian forces gave up their attempt to seize Kyiv itself in the early days of the war after meeting fierce Ukrainian resistance and turned their focus instead to other regions.
