“During the first day of the partial mobilization, about 10 thousand citizens arrived at the military commissariats on their own,” Tsimlyansky informed.
Tsimlyansky said that as part of the partial mobilization, shooters, tankmen, gunners, and drivers are being called.
According to him, one of the main factors is the presence of combat experience.
In addition, the General Staff stated that the number of drafted citizens is determined by the regular needs of the completed military units.
On September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree "On the announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation."
