Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a partial military mobilisation, in a step that signals a major escalation in the war in Ukraine. In a live address to the nation, Putin stated that the move was necessary to ensure that Russia retained control of "liberated lands" in Ukraine -- referring to the territory under the control of Russian-backed separatists.
