Thus, the working group should ensure the interaction of state authorities and organizations in matters of training of mobilized persons, social and legal protection of citizens of the Russian Federation participating in the “military special operation” and their family members.

On Nov. 25, Putin met with so-called mothers of soldiers fighting in Ukraine and promised to look into reports of violations in training, food supplies and lack of proper uniforms for soldiers fighting in what Russia calls a “special military operation.”

On October 31, the Ministry of Defense of Russia announced the completion of the “partial mobilization” of hundreds of thousands of citizens. The ministry reported that all measures for partial mobilization have been suspended, as well as “all measures related to conscription.”

The announcement of the Russian “partial mobilization” caused protests and the flight of men from the country.
