A clarifying question about whether in the regions where the quota for mobilization has already been fulfilled can start it again, Mr. Peskov forwarded it to the Ministry of Defense. “The Ministry of Defense, by presidential decree, established these quantitative indicators and brought them to the regions. And the heads of the regions were already responsible for organizing the work. The thresholds that were set have already been met in some regions, which was reported,” he said.
