The Kremlin admits it made a mistake with the call for recruitment

The Kremlin has admitted mistakes were made in efforts to mobilize Russian army reservists to fight in Ukraine, amid growing public opposition.

"There are cases when the decree is violated," Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said, adding that "all mistakes will be corrected."

Multiple reports say that people with no military experience, or who are very old, or with disabilities are being drafted. Last week's mobilization decree has already sparked widespread protests.

President Putin announced what he described as a partial mobilization on September 21, with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu later saying 300,000 reservists would be called up.

However, reports in Russian opposition media suggested that up to a million people could be called up, noting that a paragraph believed to be about the exact number of reservists required had been removed (classified) from the published version of the decree. of Putin on the Kremlin's official website.

A number of military experts in the West and Ukraine say Putin's decision to call up reservists shows that Russian troops are failing badly on the battlefield in Ukraine, more than seven months after Moscow began its invasion.

Since the mobilization was announced, more than 2,000 people have been arrested in protests across Russia. At a press conference on Monday, Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, acknowledged that mistakes were being made.

He said that in some regions "governors are actively working to correct the situation". Peskov also said he was not aware of any decision to close Russia's borders and impose martial law in the country.

Media reports earlier suggested that this could be done to stop potential recruits from fleeing the country. In the latest sign of the growing public outcry, a man critically wounded an army recruiting officer in the Siberian city of Ust-llimsk on Monday.

Footage has surfaced on social media that appears to show the attacker approaching the officer and then shooting him. People in the building are then seen screaming and running in panic as the gunman yelled at them to run.

Over the weekend, people in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan clashed with police during the mobilization movement. More than 100 people were arrested during protests in the regional capital, Makhachkala, said OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights monitor.

There have also been reports of a number of arson attacks on recruitment centers and other administrative buildings across Russia.
