“If necessary, be in constant contact with military commissars around the clock, seven days a week, in direct contact with regional ombudsmen and members of the public, but ensure that partial mobilization is carried out in full and absolute compliance with the announced criteria.

Without a single mistake!

Matviyenko noted that social networks are actively discussing information about conscription as part of the mobilization of citizens who do not fall under the criteria announced by the Ministry of Defense. 

The Speaker of the Federation Council stressed that the governors preside over draft commissions, and they are responsible for the execution of mobilization campaigns.

On September 24, the head of the Human Rights Council, Valery Fadeev, urged the Ministry of Defense not to allow the “cane system” as part of partial mobilization, when military registration and enlistment offices call on people without a military specialty and combat experience.

Fadeev sent a letter about this to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, “not some people who have never seen or heard anything about the army” are called up, but those who have served have a military specialty and combat experience.
