Russia’s defence ministry this weekend announced the end to the “partial mobilisation” that Putin declared in mid-September. Yet Russian legal activists and media noted that only Putin had the authority to end the mobilisation, leading him on Monday to claim he “hadn’t thought about that” and would “speak with lawyers”.
On Tuesday, the Kremlin announced that Putin would not sign any order. “We inform you: the decree is not needed, we have the conclusion of the state legal department of the presidential administration in this regard,” said Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesperson. At the same time, he maintained, Russia’s partial mobilisation “has been completed”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/01/vladimir-putin-keeps-open-option-of-drafting-more-russians Russia began its annual fall draft Tuesday.
