These are planned for different stages and involve the full or partial deployment of, inter alia, certain personnel, departments and ships. During the Cold War, Norway was one of the countries in the world capable of mobilizing the largest percentage of its population for military service. the defence it could mobilize almost 10 percent of the population, and all those who supported the total defense with material, work or property came.

Recently, Ukrainian forces have made great progress and breached Russian positions in the north, east and south of the country. Russian forces were pushed back to several strategic areas.
On Tuesday, Russia reacted with what many see as a further escalation of the war:
The Russian National Assembly prepare the laws which will increase the penalties for crimes such as the abandonment or refusal of orders, if full mobilization is adopted. On Tuesday, pro-Russian leaders in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya announced plans to referendum to enter Russia as early as this weekend.

Delayed speech
Russian state media announced Tuesday that Putin would address the nation on Tuesday evening, but the speech was postponed without any explanation from the Kremlin, which also did not announce the speech in advance.
The host of the program and Putin’s “propaganda minister” Margarita Simonjan wrote “Are you waiting?” her on his Telegram channel at 8.37 pm Norwegian time.
Three quarters of an hour later she wrote “Go to bed”.
Many have speculated whether Putin will signal an escalation of the war, including whether he will use the word “war”. Since the start of the war, the Russian authorities have called it a “special military operation”.
