Peskov said there was no lack of information on partial mobilization



There is no shortage of data on partial mobilization in Russia, all reference resources have been activated in the country, and the Ministry of Defense regularly answers questions about conscription. This statement was made by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.

“One could still somehow understand such a hysterical and extremely emotional reaction in the first hours after the announcement [о частичной мобилизации]even on the first day, because there really was a lack of information,” Peskov said.

Later, according to a Kremlin spokesman, "all information lines were activated." In addition, citizens can ask questions directly to the Russian Defense Ministry, Peskov said. He stated that the department regularly answers incoming calls from Russians, so "there is no shortage of clarifications," Peskov summed up.

The spokesman also urged Russians to be critical of social media posts. According to him, there are a huge number of false messages on the network.

Formerly Peskov declaredthat information about the hype at airports is "grossly exaggerated". He called publications on this subject “fake”. In addition, the Kremlin spokesman commented on reports about the content of the hidden seventh paragraph of the decree on partial mobilization. A number of media claimed that it spelled out the ability to mobilize 1 million people. Such data Peskov named lies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization in the country on 21 September. He stated that the draft will affect citizens who are in the reserve, as well as those who served in the Armed Forces and have certain military specialties and relevant experience. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu specified that it is planned to mobilize 300,000 people.

The day before at the General Staff reportedthat first of all, shooters, tankers, artillerymen, drivers and driver-mechanics will be called up for military service. Also in the department notedthat the mobilization will not affect the autumn conscripts. Today the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation statedthat the call does not threaten employees of the IT sector, telecom operators, the media and banks.

In addition, yesterday Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko informed on the launch of hotline 122 to answer questions about partial mobilization in Russia. In the current situation, the government plans to collect the most frequently asked questions and prepare answers for them to alert citizens ahead of time.
