According to the source, several thousand people may be forcibly conscripted from Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Most of the countries of the world consider Abkhazia and South Ossetia as the territory of Georgia. This territory was occupied by Russian soldiers in 2008. The administrations of these republics are controlled by the Kremlin.
It is known that on September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the mobilization of Russian military personnel in reserve. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said they plan to mobilize about 300 thousand people.
In turn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine predicts that in the first wave of mobilization in Russia, about 40-50 thousand reservists can be called, because there will not be enough equipment for more.
It was previously reported that in response to Putin’s announcement of a partial demobilization of the Russian Federation, Russians began leaving the country en masse.
