The Russian partial mobilization has concluded, with new guidelines and ongoing support announced by city authorities.
The capital reported that partial mobilization has ended and that pickup points for mobilized individuals were closed on October 17, 2022, at 2:00 PM. Subpoenas issued to residents and enterprises in relation to mobilization are no longer in effect. These developments follow the presidential decree and the Ministry of Defense directives that had defined the scope and duration of the mobilization effort.
According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the turnout for mobilization subpoenas directed to homes and workplaces is no longer required. He highlighted that mobilization represented a significant challenge for thousands of Moscow families, as many fathers, husbands, and sons joined the military. Yet he credited the overall outcome to the responsibility, dedication to duty, and patriotism demonstrated by Muscovites. The mayor also expressed gratitude to the residents for their sacrifices and support during the process.
Sobyanin conveyed heartfelt wishes for the safety and swift return of mobilized residents, noting the hope that they would return home sound and secure, having contributed to defending the country’s security and independence. The sentiment underscored a collective sense of concern for the families and the future challenges faced by those who served.
About support
In continuation of a broader effort to assist families, the city affirmed its commitment to sustain logistical support for the Ministry of Defense. Collaborating with regional leaders where Muscovites serve, city authorities pledged to help improve life within military units and to ensure that related family needs are addressed as they arise. This collaboration aims to maintain a steady course of assistance as mobilized personnel fulfill their duties.
For families seeking assistance, the city notes the existence of a Support Center for the Families of the Mobilized, a resource intended to provide information and guidance. The center exists to help relatives navigate the process, access available benefits, and coordinate with regional authorities. Additionally, the My Documents network continues to facilitate applications for one-time social assistance to mobilized individuals, offering a practical avenue for urgent support where eligible.
In summary, authorities emphasize that the mobilization phase has concluded, while the city remains committed to backing the families and communities involved, aligning its resources with the needs of those serving the country. This ongoing effort seeks to balance national security objectives with the well-being of residents who contribute to defense activities. [Attribution: Moscow City Authorities]
