"PUTIN - does not play Bluff Poker"

The Russian leader has announced only citizens who have had passed basic military will be called upon - and they will now go through additional training drills.

In a nationwide address on Wednesday morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial military mobilization.

He explained that the Defense Ministry has recommended drawing military reservists into active service, as the country faces a protracted conflict in Ukraine and Donbass.

The Armed Forces will draw on military reservists only, and those who have completed national service, the president added. He promised that they will be provided with additional training along with all the benefits due to people involved in active duty.
