Russia plans to conscript 400,000

In Russia, conscription for contract military service begins on April 1. The Ministry of Defense has already sent information about the required number of conscripts to the regions that reportedly hits 400,000.

The governors of the regions will be responsible for the implementation of the plan. According to the plan of the Ministry of Defense, 10,000 people should be called in professional military service in Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk districts.

The Vёrstka publication writes that the military commissariats are trying to compensate the losses of the Russian army. The most in short supply are armored personnel carriers and gunners. On the other hand, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, denied the existence of the plan for the second wave of mobilization both before and now. "There are no such discussions in the Kremlin," said Peskov.


According to official data, more than 330,000 reservists were called up for military service as part of the "partial mobilization" announced last September. At the end of October, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the end of mobilization. Vladimir Putin also announced the project as completed, but he did not sign the corresponding decree. Officially, the mobilization continues in Russia.
