The spokesperson referred to “credible reports (…) that (according to) 2,377 protesters were arrested in various parts of the country”.
Putin announced a partial mobilization to annex four Ukrainian regions, following a series of setbacks by his military on the Ukrainian front and the internationally condemned referendums that were allegedly due to end on Tuesday.
