From what we know, local authorities seek to mobilize 2,500 troops.

“Military commissariats send lists to schools, and teachers fill out and deliver the summons. They are forced to. As my aunt says, teachers are simply forced to do it, and they don't object,” a local resident told The Insider.

To her knowledge, the mobilized men are being sent to Chita for a one-month boot camp. As they are told, afterward they will be deployed across the territories where Russian “authorities” are organizing “referendums”.
