Native name Частичная мобилизация в России (Chastichnaya mobilizatsiya v Rossii)
Date21 September 2022 – present[1][a]
LocationRussia
CauseRussian invasion of Ukraine
Organised byRussian Ministry of Defense
Mobilization plan
  • ≈300,000 people (according to the Ministry of Defense)
  • Clause No. 7, which details the exact number of people to be mobilized, is classified.[3]

On 21 September 2022, seven months into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia declared a partial mobilization of military reservists. The decision was made a day after the announcement of the Russian annexation of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.[4][5]

The announcement of mobilization was seen as a significant escalation of Russia's military efforts in the war with Ukraine. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that Russia had a "huge mobilization reserve" and planned to mobilize 300,000 recruits.[6] The precise details of the mobilization plans are currently unclear, however, as the exact number of people to be mobilized is classified.[7]

On 28 October, Shoigu told Russian president Vladimir Putin that mobilization had been completed, which was followed an announcement by Putin of its completion.[8][9] However, it has been speculated that mobilization will only end after Putin signs a relevant decree, and that covert mobilization would still occur. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refuted this claim, but as of late December numerous military analysts and media outlets maintain that mobilization continues to take place in Russia.[10][11]

Так что, мобилизация в России окончена? К сожалению, нет. До тех пор, пока президент не подпишет указ о завершении «частичной» мобилизации, Минобороны в любой момент может спустить в регионы новые планы, после чего призыв возобновится.
