Russia’s Putin signs decree on partial mobilization for citizens

2022-09-21

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial military mobilization in a televised address to his nation Wednesday as Ukraine's counteroffensive continued to push his invasion troops back toward the Russian border.

Putin had previously avoided the callups in his effort to minimize the effects of the war – a term he rejects in favor of "special military operation" – on the Russian population. But the conflict he had hoped would be completed in weeks has dragged on for seven months with little sign of ending soon.

He blamed the escalation on the West, telling his people the U.S. and its allies were attempting to break Russia "into an array of fatally warring regions and areas."
