They've run out of troops on the front line, and cannot replenish them quickly enough from volunteers (or prisoners, etc).
All those on the reservists are basically being called up in a prioritised order, initially 300k are being called up. Total reservists is 2M.
The decree to do that is signed (attempting to leave Russia or not respond when called makes you a deserter).
"Partial" in that this is not a general conscription at this time, and only a portion of the total reserves.

It means all reserves and ‘anyone with military experience’ is off to the front line.
Given Russia is a conscription country, that’s quite a lot of people. 2m reservists + maybe 30% of the male population.
Love to see them try to equip them with clothes let alone guns and ammunition.
