In the speech, in particular, it was said:
Mobilization events of this scale have not been held since the Great Patriotic War.
In 2022, the personnel of the military commissariats completed an unprecedented amount of tasks. Despite the fact that some of them were performed for the first time, the tasks were solved on time and with the highest quality.
One of the most important was the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated September 21, 2022 No. 647 "On the announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation". There have been no mobilization events of this scale since the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Some mobilization measures were carried out during the preparation of a limited contingent of Soviet troops for entry into Afghanistan in December 1979. Then more than 55,000 citizens were called up from the reserve, more than 100 military units were completed and formed.
During the liquidation of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, more than 310000 people were called up for special training for four and a half years on a rotational basis, 88 military units were formed.
Military commissariats, together with the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local self-government bodies, have supplied over 300,000 citizens to the troops and forces during partial mobilization activities. In total, more than 280 military units and subunits have been formed.
<...>
In general, the mobilization of human resources in the military districts was carried out in accordance with the developed plans and on time.
In pursuance of the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, in order to realize the rights of citizens who have expressed a desire to voluntarily take part in a special military operation, detachments of the country's combat army reserve - "Bars" - have been formed and staffed with volunteers.
Taking into account the special status of volunteers who are not military personnel, a separate procedure has been developed for providing them with small arms, military equipment, clothing, equipment and other material means.
The subjects of the Russian Federation are involved in providing tactical equipment, sleeping bags and other necessary property. At the last stages, state corporations and private companies joined the work.
In order to build up and maintain the combat potential of groups of troops and forces at the required level, units of the reserve of the General Staff and commanders of military districts have been formed and staffed (staffed) with personnel.
<...>
In the period from November 10 to December 2, 2022, the commission of the Russian Ministry of Defense carried out work on the inclusion of the military commissariats of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics into the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
The assessment of the main performance indicators of the military enlistment offices of the People's Republics of Donbass indicates their readiness to perform tasks for their intended purpose. So, 79,800 people were called up from the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic to mobilize, about 2 thousand units of vehicles were delivered.
<...>
In 2023, it is necessary to carry out timely organizational and staff support for the formation of the combined arms and air armies, the army corps, the Azov Naval District, five divisions and 26 brigades, the creation of the Moscow and Leningrad military districts.
