[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] It has been more than half a year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a mobilization order last week, triggering a backlash from the people in the country. Although more than 1,000 people were arrested last week, people continued to take to the streets to demonstrate. It is reported that nearly 750 people were arrested on the 24th.

Russia recently lost the war. Putin announced a partial mobilization order last week to escalate military operations against Ukraine. European and American countries condemned it in unison. Russian people also took to the streets to protest. According to foreign media reports, OVD-Info, an independent human rights organization, was quoted as saying that On the 24th, the Moscow authorities arrested nearly 750 people in 32 cities, including more than 300 people in Moscow alone and nearly 150 people in St. Petersburg, and some of the people were minors.

Putin also signed a hastily approved bill that would strengthen penalties for soldiers who disobey an officer's orders, desert or surrender, the report said.

The report mentioned that although the Russian Ministry of Defense said that about 300,000 people were expected to be called up, in Putin's mobilization order, most of the men between the ages of 18 and 65 were on the call-up range. Possibly more.
