The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces announced the absence of plans to conduct a second wave of mobilization
Conducting a second wave of mobilization is not in the plans of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (AF) of Russia, since there are enough volunteers and already called-up citizens to complete the tasks. This was stated by the head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate (GOMU) of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, Rear Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky, reports TASS.
“I want to assure you all that there is no second wave of mobilization in the plans of the General Staff. Those who have already been called up for military service, as well as citizens who have voluntarily expressed a desire to participate in the operation, are quite enough to complete the assigned tasks, ”Tsimlyansky said during a briefing on the spring conscription.
