Baza journalists in a single reference service on the phone 122 refuted the words of Vladimir Putin that Russia has completed "partial" mobilization.
“There is such a thing as a call for mobilization, and such a thing as mobilization. Mobilization is ongoing. <…> And the call for mobilization has been stopped for the time being, ”the information desk said. At the same time, the operator stressed that from October 17, the appearance at the military enlistment office on subpoenas is not required.
When asked by a Baza journalist to explain why Putin claims otherwise, the information desk said that his words were misinterpreted: “He announced that the mobilization is over in terms of the fact that they will not be called up for mobilization yet. The recruiting campaign is over for the time being.”
On October 28, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Putin that the “partial” mobilization activities had been completed. A decree on its completion was not issued at the same time. When asked if the Ministry of Defense could send new mobilization tasks to the regions, that is, to resume the call for mobilization, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied: “In this case, there was a statement by the Minister of Defense, we need to focus on it.”
