State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that deputies who meet the requirements for mobilization should go to war.
About deputies. Those who meet the requirements of partial mobilization should help by participating in a special military operation. Deputies have no armor. Adam Delimkhanov has been in the Donbass since the beginning of the SVO, leading the volunteers of the Chechen Republic, Dmitry Sablin, Viktor Vodolatsky, Akhmed Dogaev and others,” he wrote.
The day before, United Russia deputy Dmitry Vyatkin said that he and his colleagues could not go to war, as "citizens" stand behind them, although, according to him, going to the front is "the easiest decision." In early September, the governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Mikhail Degtyarev, said that he would go to Ukraine as a volunteer, but he could not, because he had no right to leave his responsible post. After that, residents of the Khabarovsk Territory created a petition with a proposal to “help the governor fulfill his dream, go to fight in the Donbass,” which was signed by tens of thousands of people.
On September 21, Putin announced the mobilization in Russia. This was followed by a statement by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. According to him, 300,000 "reservists" will be called up.
