Deputies of the Yabloko faction in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg sent an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The appeal by Yabloko deputies runs that it is necessary to issue a decree on the end of “partial mobilization”.
“The absence of such a [presidential] decree (at the moment there are only oral statements made by a number of officials about the end of partial mobilisation, but no legal acts) creates legal uncertainty and, on the one hand, allows the conscription of citizens to military service within the framework of mobilisation, and on the other hand, allows commanders of military units and courts to refuse citizens asking for dismissal from military service,” Yabloko MPs note in the appeal.
