Quote from Hromov: "In Russia, the draft of conscripts is actively underway after the announcement of partial mobilisation. To date, more than 100,000 of the announced 300,000 people have already been called up. We understand that the announced figure of 300,000 is not final. It is most likely that the number of conscripted people will be much larger".

Details: Hromov also noted that the mobilisation in Russia had not started on 21 September; it began even earlier. Information from prisoners of war shows that those drafted in September were sent to the front less than a week after that without preparation or coordination.
