Quote: "Russian units are starting to receive military personnel who have been called up as part of the [recently announced] partial mobilisation."

Details: The General Staff reported that units of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 2nd Motor Rifle Division of the 1st Guards Tank Army, which are departing for the combat zone, have received reinforcements. The newly arrived troops have had no training prior to being deployed.

In addition to partial mobilisation [announced on 21 September], the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation is continuing to roll out a so-called "self-mobilisation" [i.e., offering persons serving time for criminal offences an opportunity to fight in exchange, allegedly, for freedom - ed.].

Persons convicted of criminal offences are joining units that are already fighting in Ukraine.
