Putin spokesman says mobilization order still in effect because it ‘includes other measures’ beyond call-up
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Monday that while Russia’s military call-up is complete, other provisions of Putin’s mobilization decree remain in effect because “mobilization” also includes “other measures” related to the war.
Peskov did not specify which parts of the decree he was referring to, though he did say that his statement applies to the document’s redacted clause, which contains, among other things, the total number of troops to be mobilized, according to Peskov’s past statements.
