Heads of Russia’s Bryansk and Kamchatka regions Alexander Bogomaz and Vladimir Solodov have announced the end of the “partial mobilisation” in their region.
According to Bogomaz, the quotas set for Bryansk by the Western Military District and the Russian Defence Ministry “have been met in full”. “We have reached the goal thanks to the residents of our border region, who know what it’s like when their Motherland and their loved ones need protection!” the governor said.
Bogomaz already announced that the region had reached 100% of the target number a month ago, on 27 September.
Head of Kamchatka Vladimir Solodov made a similar announcement, saying that the region has met all the goals of the “partial mobilisation”. “At the same time, the mobilisation was announced by the president, and it is the president’s prerogative to end it,” the official said.
Neither Solodov nor Bogomolov provided the exact number of draftees in their regions.
A St. Petersburg lawmaker Alexander Belsky told Komsomolskaya Pravda in St. Petersburg radio that the mobilisation in the city might end on Sunday, 30 October.
On 14 October, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that all mobilisation activity would end “in two weeks” and no additional conscription is planned. There still has not been an official order ending the mobilisation.
