Vladimir Putin cancelled a much-anticipated speech tonight (Tuesday, September 20) in which it was thought he may announce a major escalation in his invasion of Ukraine. In what was set to be his biggest address since the invasion began in February, it is thought the Russian President was going to make an announcement over mobilisation. Early today, the State Duma made amendments to a bill that would introduce the concepts of "mobilisation", "martial law" and "wartime" into the Russian Criminal Code.
