Ramzan Kadyrov just refusing to launch the mobilization in Chechnya under his rule is the official symbol of what the Putinist Russia is.

just saw this on CNN tv about the former president of Mongolia; pretty striking:

An powerful message from the former president of Mongolia @elbegdorj blasting Russia for using ethnic minorities as cannon fodder, says no dictatorship lasts forever. I don’t know if any Mongolian leader (former or present) of this stature has ever criticized Russia so harshly. pic.twitter.com/tidAtONrNq

Former #Mongolian President addresses Russians

In his video, Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj spoke about how much the war in #Ukraine had affected Russia's national minorities.

The ex-president urged them and other Russians not to fight against the Ukrainians.

2. The "300k" number and the word "partial" are blinding words. The 300k number is not an upper-bound if it turns out they need more later. It's also a slow process -- there won't be 300k more Russian soldiers arriving in Ukraine next week.

Media incorrectly represents situation at Finnish-Russian border, officials confirm

Several videos and images circulating depicting irregular queues at the Finnish-Russian border have been falsely attributed to reactions after Russian President Vladimir Putin's mobilization announcement. Several Finnish officials confirm that the situation remains normal at the border with regular queues, traffic and flow.

@ Twitter events last night, including

Situation at Finnish Russian border is normal, both at green border and in border traffic.
Just talked to our officers in charge. There is normal queuing in border traffic, nothing to report at the moment.
Keep calm.
We are vigilant and will report if there is something.

The situation on Finland's borders has not changed significantly today with the announcement of Russia's partial mobilisation. Videos are circulating on social media, at least some of which were filmed earlier and taken out of context. There is incorrect information on the move. https://t.co/KE54tB8OtM
