It's been a busy 48 hours, and in our latest "Down the Rabbit Hole on the #Russia-#Ukraine War" episode, Dr. Yuval Weber breaks down the events that have transpired to date. The big story of the day was Vladimir Putin's early-morning speech in which he finally took the step of calling for a mobilization of up to 300,000 new soldiers. We look at what else Putin said, the legal framework (and loopholes) of this mobilization, the domestic impact within Russia, and much more.
