"The task set by you, [to mobilize] 300,000 people, has been completed. No additional activities are planned," Shoigu said, adding that activities connected to the partial mobilization are ended.

The Defense Minister stated that "During the partial mobilization, more than 1,300 representatives of executive authorities of various levels, over 27,000 entrepreneurs, 13,000 citizens were called upon and sent to the troops, without waiting for the summons, expressed a desire to fulfill their duty and were sent to the troops as volunteers. The average age of mobilized citizens is 35 years," adding that the Russian military will only accept volunteers from now on.

It's noteworthy that Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on 21 September to initiate a partial mobilization in Russia as the war in Ukraine continues, while the decree according to Putin will allow the government to quickly alter the mechanisms to fulfill the demands of the Ministry of Defense.

The third of a million soldiers is a little more than 1% of Russia's available manpower, which Moscow said was necessary for controlling the liberated territories in the Donbass and the line of contact around a mile away.
