In addition, it is indicated that the illegitimate president of Russia ordered the discharge from military service of military personnel whose term of service under conscription has expired.
On the eve, Deputy Chief of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Vladimir Tsimlyansky, tried in every way to convince Russians that conscripts as part of the autumn draft would not be sent to war in Ukraine.
According to the latter, the last conscription campaign this year will be conducted using the Unified Military Registration Register.
Paper summonses will also be used to notify citizens during conscription.
