Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced the end of the “partial military mobilization” announced in the country just over a month ago.
However, in a press conference following talks with the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, he said he should have discussed with lawyers whether a special decree was needed to end the trial.
This happened a few days after the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported that the “goals” had been achieved: 300,000 people had been summoned, of which 82,000 had been sent to Ukraine on Friday last week, and the rest – for the ‘training.
Russian authorities today announced that the country no longer sends call signs.
The mobilization has caused discontent in Russia, both for the chaos surrounding governments, and for the excess of categories initially announced to be sent to the front.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have decided not to use force on Karabakh
In a joint statement following Russian-mediated talks, Armenia and Azerbaijan “agreed not to use force” to resolve their Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, AFP reported.
Baku and Yerevan also decided to “resolve all disputes solely on the basis of the recognition of mutual sovereignty and territorial integrity”, according to a joint declaration adopted at the end of the Sochi summit.
A month earlier, the worst clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan since the 2020 war occurred.
The six-week war in the fall of 2020 resulted in the deaths of over 6,500 military personnel on both sides. It ended with a Russian-brokered deal, according to which Yerevan ceded vast territories it had controlled for several decades.
Last month, 286 people on both sides were killed in clashes that threatened the slow peace process.
The hostilities ended in a US-brokered ceasefire after previous failed Russian attempts to negotiate a truce.
