People who are currently part of the Russian military reserve or have previously served in the armed forces will not be affected by the partial deployment, according to Putin.
Russia is prepared to use all means at its disposal if there is a threat to the country's territorial integrity according to the Russian president.
Putin supports the holding of referendums in Russian-occupied territories in eastern and southern Ukraine, which will allow Moscow to claim large portions of the neighboring country as its own.
The results of the referendum will be irreversible and the occupied regions will be part of Russia, according to the former president.
The main goal of the invasion was to fully liberate the Luhansk province, and Putin claimed that was on track.
According to a translation by the Associated Press, Putin said: "I want to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction, and for separate components and more modern than those of NATO countries and when the territorial integrity of our country is threatened."
The Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, said on Tuesday that the referendums won't change anything. There will be no hybrid'mobilization'. Russia has occupied some of the land of the Ukranian. Whatever Russia says, Ukraine will liberate its territories.
There was a surge in search interest for the phrase "How to leave Russia" on Tuesday ahead of Putin's announcement. The number of searches for the phrase spiked after Putin spoke.
