“In Moscow, citizens are recruited with military specialties that are necessary for the effective implementation of the tasks of partial mobilization, mainly motorized riflemen,” said the deputy military commissar.

He also named specialists from the coastal troops of the Navy, missile troops, gunners, and signalmen among the most sought-after military professions.

According to him, specialists from the railway and engineering departments are also in demand.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian Ministry of Defense did not introduce the declared information about categories of citizens not subject to partial mobilization in time to the regulatory framework, so now it is necessary to make adjustments.

Prior to this, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu instructed the General Staff of the Armed Forces to give the military registration and enlistment offices comprehensive explanations on granting deferrals from partial mobilization.
