Russia saw itself as the protector of all Slavs, and felt as though they needed the protect the Serbians. Helping Serbia would also increase their influence in the balkans.

Answer: by defend to serbia

Step-by-step explanation:

Russia mobilised her armed forces in late July ostensibly to defend Serbia, but also to maintain her status as a Great Power, gain influence in the Balkans and deter Austria-Hungary and Germany. This led Germany to declare war on Russia on 1 August, ultimately expanding the local conflict into a world war.
