There’s been a worrying escalation in Russia’s war on Ukraine after Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilisation of forces and made yet another nuclear threat.
The Russian President made a rare national address overnight, during which he announced he had signed a decree stating that Russian reservists will be conscripted into the country's military from Wednesday in what is Russia's first mobilisation since World War Two.
He also warned the West he was “not bluffing” when he said he would be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend his country.
