Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Wednesday a partial mobilization in Russia as the war in Ukraine reaches nearly seven months and Moscow loses ground on the battlefield.
In a separate television interview, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Russia would immediately call up 300,000 reservists to"hold the line at the front" in Ukraine.
The Russian leader also insisted Russia had a moral obligation to protect civilians in partially Russian-occupied portions of Ukraine as they held a series of"referendums" aimed at joining the Russian Federation later this week.

The announcement of the balloting starting Friday came after a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that they were needed.
