Shoigu again announced the completion of partial mobilization in Russia

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recalled that partial mobilization in Russia had been completed. He announced this at the first meeting of the parliamentary coordinating group on the special military operation.

“You know that we completed partial mobilization, we carried it out, there were many difficulties and problems. Here I cannot but say that we managed to solve most of the problems and issues quite quickly. Initially, we tried and did our best not to hide anything from anyone. There is a problem that needs to be addressed. For this I would like to thank many. We really hope that we will have a normal, good job,” he said.

Partial mobilization went on in Russia from September 21 to October 31. Putin noted that 318,000 people were mobilized as a result, since a large number of volunteers wanted to go to the war zone.

During an extended meeting of the collegium of the Russian Defense Ministry, Putin asked The Ministry of Defense respond to criticism, even if it is emotional, and be attentive to civilian initiatives in order to solve all existing problems. The President pointed out that the mobilization showed what problems exist and need to be addressed. In particular, Putin noted the need to modernize the system of military registration and enlistment offices. On November 25, the head of state instructed to form the state information resource necessary for updating military registration data by April 2024.
