I must have missed when Ukraine invaded Russia the way Nazi Germany did in the last "Patriotic War", or Napoleon did in the first. >

When Medvedev says "Patriotic War," he's drawing comparisons specifically to the French and later Nazi invasions of Russia:

"And the war with them, therefore, is the new Patriotic War. And victory will be ours. As it was in 1812 and 1945."

This is basically a propaganda attempt to rally the Russians around the war. Obviously people outside of Russia will see the inherit flaws in that comparison, but some of the domestic audience might buy in. >

Preparations for the new mobilization?
