Putin calls up reservists

The Russian president plans to mobilise up to 300,000 reservists, in a move considered an escalation by the West.

President Putin says up to 300,000 military reservists are to be sent to Ukraine as part of a partial mobilisation of Russian forces. In a televised address to the nation, he said this was a necessary step to ensure Russian territorial integrity. Our correspondents on the ground give us the latest reaction from the region and the wider world.

We'll also connect you with three Russian men whose lives have been impacted by the announcement. They, like many others are awaiting more details on whether they or their loved ones will be told to join.
