Comments hitting wires from EU Commission spokesman Eric Mamer regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a 'partial mobilisation' of reserves. Lead Spokesperson of the European Commission for Foreign Affairs Peter Stano also speaking.

  • Mamer: 'Russia's mobilisation shows Putin is desperate...His moves show he seeks to escalate the war.'
  • Mamer: 'Mobilisation shows Putin is only interested in advancing his destructive war'.
  • Mamer: 'Russia's decision will result in consequences on our part'. Unclear what these consequences will be at present, with EU potentially taking a wait-and-see approach with how the partial mobilisation is implemented.
