Vladimir Putin has warned Russia will 'use all means we have' to protect its territory, accusing the West of 'nuclear blackmail' and saying: "This is not a bluff."
The Russian President today announced a 'partial mobilisation' in Russia as the war in Ukraine approaches the seven-month mark - a move said to mean that as many as 300,000 reservists and people with past military experience are expected to be called up.
He also accused the West of engaging in 'nuclear blackmail' and noted 'statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading Nato states about the possibility of using nuclear weapons of mass destruction against Russia'.
