☆ Explainer: What does Vladimir Putin's 'partial' mobilisation mean for Russia's military machine?
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Andrew Osborn | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
The exact number of mobilised reservists in Ukraine is classified but official pronouncements suggest it is at least 400,000. * The immediate call-up of 300,000 military reservists who have previously served in the Russian army and have combat experience or specialised military skills. Western military analysts forecast it will therefore be several months before they see action. According to a copy of the legislation, seen by Reuters, voluntary surrender would become a crime for Russian military personnel punishable by 10 years in prison. * Western military analysts are divided on whether partial mobilisation is too little too late to alter the course of the war in Moscow's favour.
☆ Putin orders partial Russian mobilisation, warns West over nuclear blackmail

The blunt warning from Russia's paramount leader, whose country has more nuclear warheads than even the United States, marks the biggest escalation of the war in Ukraine since Moscow's Feb. 24 invasion. Putin said he had signed a decree on a partial mobilisation. The mobilisation, which affects anyone who has served as a professional soldier in Russia rather than a conscript, begins immediately. Putin said his aim was to "liberate" east Ukraine's Donbas region, and that most people living in regions under Russian control did not want to be ruled by Kyiv anymore.
