They have the look of condemned men on their faces. Sad. Very, very sad.
Moscow Mayor Announces End of Mobilization in the Capital
Army draft offices will close in Moscow from Monday as the Kremlin’s quotas for recruiting reservists to fight in Ukraine have been met in the capital, city mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced.
“Assembly points for mobilized people will close on October 17, 2022, at 2:00 pm,” Sobyanin said on his website.
He said “the task of partial mobilization” – announced just over a month ago – had been “completed in full” in the city.
Sobyanin said that call-up papers sent out in Moscow were no longer valid. He did not say how many Muscovites had been called up.
The mayor’s announcement came three days after President Vladimir Putin promised to complete his mobilization drive “within two weeks.”
