Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a “partial mobilization,” calling up 300,000 reservists, in a major escalation of his flagging invasion of Ukraine, which he portrayed as a fight to the death with the US and its allies.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told state TV the reservists wouldn’t be called up all at once. The order applies only to those with military experience and wouldn’t affect students or others who haven’t previously served in the army, he said. Putin made his threats a day after Russian-installed occupation authorities in the regions of Ukraine’s east and south that Kremlin forces still control hastily announced plans for “referendums” starting Friday on annexation. This would incorporate the roughly fifth of Ukrainian territory Russia controls behind its borders.

Once the annexation takes place, Russia will also be able to bolster its forces fighting in Ukraine with conscripts doing their military service, who currently can’t be sent to the front line because it is outside Russian territory, said Igor Korotchenko, head of the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of World Arms Trade.
