First of all, within the framework of the so-called partial mobilization, shooters, tankers, artillerymen, drivers and driver-mechanics will be called up to Ukraine. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
Rear Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky, a representative of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff, specified that the order of conscription of those in the reserve has not been established, but priority is given to citizens with suitable military specialties. He recalled that, according to the law, employees of defense industry enterprises who are temporarily unfit for military service due to health reasons and who are constantly caring for a family member or who are group I disabled will not be called up.
According to Tsimlyansky, about 10 thousand people independently arrived at the military commissariats during the first day of mobilization. He also added that Russians who are abroad on a short trip can be called up, but “partial mobilization” will not affect citizens of the Russian Federation permanently residing abroad. Women with "partial mobilization" can fill the positions of medical workers, but the need for such specialists is minimal, the representative of the General Staff assures.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) concluded that the mobilization announced by Putin will not deprive Ukraine of the opportunity to liberate most of the occupied territories this winter. According to analysts, mobilization is unlikely to help increase the combat capability of the Russian army; rather, it only compensates for losses. Putin announced mobilization in Russia on September 21, after which Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu promised to call on 300,000 "reservists". Military experts interviewed by The Insider argue that there will be no changes on the battlefield due to mobilization, there will simply be “more corpses”, and Ukraine will have reason to demand the introduction of new sanctions against the Russian Federation. Mobilization will be a huge problem for the Russian economy, they say, as the country will have to provide hundreds of thousands of troops.
