Mobilisation is what is also known as the Draft, as well as setting up the Military for a war footing, (Defcon) he's getting the population prepared for harder times.
The peacetime levels of Military personnel on active readiness is lower than in times of war. Putin is now calling up their Reservists and calling on volunteers with previous mil experience to re-join.
Not really a "draft". He is calling up 300,000 reservists from a pool of nearly 25 million people that qualify for calling up.
Putin has been preparing the country for this since at least 2014, in so many different ways. He knows what is at stake and more importantly he knows what he is doing. He loves Russia like Trump loves America.
