The exceptions are certain areas of the Far North and certain areas equated to the regions of the Far North, where citizens living in these territories are called up for military service from November 1 to December 31.

Additional mobilization is not needed
Tsimlyansky separately stressed that the General Staff has no plans for additional mobilization. Now there are enough people willing to become contractors, as well as volunteers who decided to participate in a special operation, he noted.

"At present, the number of citizens who have decided to voluntarily enlist in military service under a contract has also increased significantly," he said.
