Quote from Kadyrov: "Call-up notices will be issued and if he [the conscript] is already registered in a regiment or battalion, he will not have to go to the army, he will be [fighting] among his people, the Chechens."

Previously: On 28 October, Sergei Shoigu, the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, informed the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, that the partial mobilisation has apparently come to an end, and that 82,000 conscripts have been sent to Ukraine.

On 31 October, the Kremlin evaded questions about the absence of a presidential decree confirming the end of mobilisation despite having made claims that the most recent wave of mobilisation had been "completed" days earlier.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has claimed that units accountable to it have received instructions to report on the completion of partial mobilisation by 1 November.
