Russia mobilised 300,000 reservists to join Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine in just over a month, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a televised meeting with President Vladimir Putin.

“The task of recruiting 300,000 people has been completed,” Shoigu told Putin, adding that 41,000 have been deployed to military units in Ukraine. Putin asked Shoigu to thank the mobilised troops for their “patriotism”.
