Awkward video shows Putin being told of errors with troop mobilization
A video of a top Russian official telling Vladimir Putin about "significant problems" with the mobilization he ordered last year to boost troop numbers invading Ukraine has gone viral. Putin had a poker face when told how reservists had been illegally mobilized and some had not been paid as he sat opposite Russia's Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov at the Kremlin on Tuesday.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich, mobilization has not been carried out for a long time," continued Krasnov who said the process had revealed "a lot of significant problems, which have acted as a lesson for many." "It forced us to revise approaches to the organizing drafting lists," he said, adding that there were soldiers who also had issues with payments owed to them.
