Russia announced partial mobilization.

According to @CCTV International News, Weibo, on September 21st, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a video speech just released that some mobilization will be carried out from today. "Only those citizens who are currently in the reserve, first of all those who have served in the armed forces and have a certain military specialty and relevant experience, will be called up for military service", and "those who are called up for military service must receive additional military training before being deployed to the army".

Putin said that "the purpose of the West is to weaken Russia, isolate Russia and eventually destroy Russia". The west clamored that "the Soviet Union could be disintegrated in 1991, so now it is time to disintegrate Russia".

Putin pointed out that after the start of the special military operation, the Ukrainian side "made positive feedback" on the Russian proposal, but peace is not in the interests of the West — — "It was under the instructions of the West that Ukraine interrupted the process of reaching an agreement with Russia."

It is understood that this is the first time that Putin has delivered a national speech since Russia launched a special military operation on February 24 this year. (Reporter Wang Bin, General Desk)
