Russia acknowledges mobilization mistakes

• Kremlin acknowledges that its efforts to mobilize Russian army reservists to fight in Ukraine were flawed.
• The edict is occasionally broken.
• People who lack military experience are being called up.

In the face of mounting public criticism, the Kremlin has acknowledged that its efforts to mobilize Russian army reservists to fight in Ukraine were flawed.

The edict is occasionally broken, according to the spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who also promised that “all the mistakes will be addressed.”

According to numerous accounts, people who lack military experience, are too old or incapacitated, or both, are being called up.

Massive protests have already been started as a result of last week’s mobilisation directive.

On September 21, President Putin declared a “partial mobilization.” Later, 300,000 reservists would be called up, according to Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

The published version of Mr. Putin’s proclamation on the official Kremlin website left out (classified) one paragraph that was thought to be about the precise number of compulsory reservists, according to sources in opposition Russian media, suggesting that up to one million individuals may be called up.

Many military analysts in the West and Ukraine believe that Mr. Putin’s decision to activate the reserves demonstrates how poorly Russian forces are doing on the ground in Ukraine more than seven months after Moscow began its invasion.

More than 2,000 people have been detained during protests around Russia since the mobilisation announcement.

Dmitry Peskov, Mr. Putin’s spokesperson, acknowledged that errors were being made during a briefing on Monday.

In certain areas, “governors are actively attempting to remedy the situation,” he claimed.

Additionally, Mr. Peskov stated that he was not aware of any decisions to close Russia’s borders or implement martial law there.

According to earlier media reports, this could be done to prevent potential recruits from fleeing to another country.

A large number of young Russians have been trying to escape the country since the mobilization was announced.

Long lines of Russian vehicles can be seen on satellite imagery at the Georgian border.
