According to the Russian Minister of Defense, women are not subject to partial mobilization, and they have no such plans for the future. A total of three hundred thousand reservists with specific military qualifications will be affected by the mobilization.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told reporters on Saturday that women will not be called up as part of the partial mobilization, and there will be no such decision in the future either, reports TASS.
I can definitely state that we will not call up women, and we have no such plans for the future, he emphasized.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a televised speech on September 21 that he would order a partial mobilization in Russia, which, according to Shoigu, meant the call-up of approximately 300,000 reservists.
