JAKARTA - Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that the partial mobilization to strengthen Russia's military operations in Ukraine did not go smoothly. And the facts on the ground say so.

Quoted from the Moscow Times, Monday, October 3, at least six Russian soldiers who had just been mobilized have died since the start of time, said human rights lawyer Pavel Chikov.

Three soldiers died at an army training center in the Sverdlovsk region.

"I can confirm that three people have died," federal lawmaker Maxim Ivanov told EAN.

“One of the mobilized men died of a heart attack and the other committed suicide. The third was discharged and sent home, where he died of cirrhosis of the liver."

The ASTRA Telegram channel identified the man who reportedly killed himself as a 46-year-old resident of the neighboring Kurgan region. Local authorities have opened an investigation.

In the Far Eastern port of Vladivostok, Sergei Fedoseenko, 39, died of a heart attack after he was detained at the local registry office.

Another new recruit, identified as Boris Shavaev from the Kabardino-Balkaria republic, was killed at a military base, media reported.

In the Tyumen region of Siberia, local media reported that a dead soldier was found in a registry office.

There were widespread public expressions of discontent from officials and citizens over the way mobilization was handled, including complaints about registration officers sending summons to people who were clearly ineligible.

As a result, thousands of men have fled Russia, to avoid conscription which is considered an enlistment for those with the required military experience and specialization. However, it often appears to ignore individual service records, health, student status, or even age.

Some 2,000 people have also been arrested at disapproved anti-war protests in more than 30 cities and towns, with some of them immediately given summonses, something the Kremlin says is perfectly legal.

"In this mobilization, many questions arise, and all mistakes must be corrected and prevented from happening in the future," said President Putin.

"For example, I think of fathers of many children, or people who suffer from chronic diseases, or those who have passed the age of military service," said President Putin.
