Russia mobilization, referenda, and nuclear threat: Russian President Putin announced a partial mobilization of 300,000 troops, reserves “with previous military experience,” to fight in Ukraine. He also said that Russia will support the planned “polls” in four Ukrainian regions (Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia) this weekend, leading to full Russian annexation of the regions next week. Highlighting the importance of the referenda, former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said that they “would completely change the vector of Russia’s development for decades. And not just of our country. The geopolitical transformation of the world would be irreversible once the new territories were incorporated into Russia. Encroachment on the territory of Russia is a crime, the commission of which allows you to use all the forces of self-defense.” The US, EU and UK have all denounced the referenda as a “sham” and said they will not accept the votes or recognize the territories as part of Russia.
