President Putin has announced a partial mobilization in Russia

(CNBC) Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday announced a partial military mobilization in Russia, putting the country's people and economy on a wartime footing as Moscow's invasion of Ukraine continues.

In a rare pre-recorded televised announcement, Putin said the West "wants to destroy our country" and claimed the West had tried to "turn Ukraine's people into cannon fodder," in comments translated by Reuters, repeating earlier claims in which he has blamed Western nations for starting a proxy war with Russia.

Putin said "mobilization events" would begin Wednesday without providing further details, aside from saying that he had ordered an increase in funding to boost Russia's weapons production, having committed (and lost) a large amount of weaponry during the conflict, which began in late February.

Partial... impartial...

There is no such thing as "partial mobilization".

There is a law on mobilization, but who cares about laws there days in Russia.

The main objective of this mobilization is to call up to 5mln conscripts in the army.

This morning, people already started to receive summons in person.

It is a bit like the "balanced stance", what does a balanced stance on an invasion even mean?

What do you mean by this? If you have 2 million men available in a full mobilization but call up only 300.000 this seems partial?
