Unstoppable mobilization in Russia: everyone is drafted for war, even cancer patients

In Russia, the Kremlin-controlled media have been banned from reporting on the mobilization. According to The Moscow Times, an unspoken order came from the administration of the President of the Russian Federation on the eve of the New Year holidays. The publication suggests that the Kremlin made this decision amid rumors of a second wave of mobilization, as well as a proposal by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu regarding an increase in the size of the Russian army.
