By Russia’s partial mobilization campaign will be over in a couple of weeks as more than 220,000 reservists have already been called up, President Vladimir Putin told reporters on Friday following his visit to Kazakhstan’s capital of Astana.
He also touched upon talks with Ukraine, saying that Moscow has always been open to holding negotiations, as well as upon the operation of a grain export corridor, which might come into question if it is established that explosives used in an attack on the Crimean Bridge had been smuggled from Odessa through that very route.
