,,There are no discussions about a new wave of mobilization in the Kremlin’’, said the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitri Peskov on reports on the beginning of issuing agendas in some regions. ,,Regarding the update of the database, it works continuously. We must maintain the dialogue with the military commissioners and the Ministry of Defense for any clarification’’.

For his part, Andrei Gurulev, a member of the Defense Committee of State Duma, said on January 4 of this yearthat ,,there are no premises and conditions’’ for announcing a new wave of mobilization and, at the same time, has guaranteed that he does not see any necessity in the next six months.

The cities are to be handed over to the workplace and residence of the citizens. Peskov said that this practice is common, because ,,all data must be clarified and modified’’.
