The Ivanovo organizations were required to conduct a survey among registered employees about whether they would like to conclude a contract with the Russian army. This is with reference to the appeal of the military commissar of the city of Tkachuk , according to the Ivanovo News website. The material does not say which organizations the appeal was sent to - private or budgetary.

Each of the respondents is invited to conclude either a contract to stay in the “mobilization human reserve” (those who have entered into such a contract are required to appear on the agenda and fulfill the duties of the corresponding military position), or a short-term contract for a period of at least three months, or go to volunteer detachments.

The regional commissariat told 7×7 that they “know nothing” about such a document.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has not disclosed data on Russian losses in Ukraine since the beginning of March - then the department called the figure of 498 dead. According to Mediazona 's estimates, by mid-June, Russia had lost 3,798 troops. It is officially stated that only military personnel under contract are fighting in Ukraine - as of 2020, there were more than 400,000 of them in the country.
