MOSCOW, October 17. /TASS/. The goals of the partial mobilization in Moscow have been achieved in full and reservists’ visits to military offices on call-up notices are no longer required, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on Monday.

"According to the information of the Moscow military commissar, the goals of the partial mobilization set pursuant to a presidential decree and mandated by the Defense Ministry have been achieved in full," the mayor wrote on his blog.

Partial mobilization call-up offices are closing at 2:00 p.m. on October 17, Sobyanin added.

"The call-up notices sent out in the process of mobilization to the places of citizens’ residence and businesses cease to be in effect," the Moscow mayor stressed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier said that 222,000 reservists out of the planned figure of 300,000 had already been called up in the partial mobilization campaign in Russia and the remaining personnel would be mobilized in the next two weeks.

Russia’s partial mobilization

On September 21, President Putin declared a partial mobilization in Russia. Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu clarified that 300,000 reservists primarily with combat experience would be called up, who would undergo training before being sent to the special military operation zone.

The partial mobilization would not involve students and conscripts and some other categories of citizens, including the workforce of the country’s defense enterprises. The staff of IT companies, communications operators and the media would also get a deferment from the partial mobilization if they worked in their specialty full time. In addition, as the Russian General Staff explained, privates and sergeants in reserve under 35 years of age, junior officers under 50 and senior officers under 55 in reserve were subject to the call-up.
