Russian Military Mobilization Fears Rise Amidst Ukraine Conflict

Russian human rights lawyers and advocacy groups say that a growing number of military age men in 43 administrative regions across Russia are receiving summonses to report to their local enlistment offices in what could be preparations for another round of military mobilization in the country. The growing number has mostly been directed to reservists and university students that deferred military service because of their studies. The Kremlin has denied plans for a second wave of mobilization and regional offices have said the uptick in summonses is part of standard protocol to keep their information up to date.
