Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a “partial” military deployment on September 22 to reinforce military units in Ukraine, where Russian forces have suffered several setbacks.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu indicated in early October that more than 200,000 people had been recruited into the Russian forces since the mobilization was announced.
