“The conscription within the framework of partial mobilization was carried out until the established number was reached, which was necessary for the armed forces to fulfill their tasks.
The Ministry of Defense, in fact, reported just that the established number had been reached, in connection with which the conscription of citizens as part of partial mobilization was stopped, ”Peskov said.
He clarified that, in addition to conscription of citizens for military service, partial mobilization also includes other activities necessary to ensure the tasks of the Armed Forces.
“This is connected with the performance of tasks by military personnel and so on ... In this part, it continues to work,” Peskov said.
Earlier, the press secretary of the head of state denied rumors about a new wave of mobilization in the country, pointing to a foreign trace.
In December 2022, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that more than 830,000 people were exempted from conscription as part of partial mobilization.
