On Wednesday, April 3, a journalist from Komsomolskaya Pravda invited the official representative of the Kremlin to discuss the following topic…
… – Dmitry Sergeevich, today the press service of the Ministry of Defense reported that over the past week and a half the number of people wishing to serve under contract has increased. And the following figure is given: since the beginning of the year, 100 thousand people have declared their desire to serve under contract. This is, in general, a record number. How would the Kremlin comment on this?
“Well, this (in the last 10 days, about 16 thousand Russian citizens have signed contracts. – AG) is further proof of the high degree of internal mobilization of our society,” said Peskov. – And – evidence of consolidation around President Vladimir Putin and around the tasks that are within the framework of the Northern Military District.
– Thank you.

According to the Ministry of Defense, “up to 1,700 people go to selection points throughout the country every day.”
During the interviews, most candidates indicate as the main reason for signing the contract “the desire to avenge those killed in the terrorist attack on the Crocus Town Hall, near Moscow, on March 22.”
