The Kremlin admitted Monday that errors had been made during the mobilisation of reservists for Russia’s military action in Ukraine and said no decision had been taken to close the country’s borders.

“Indeed, there are cases when the (mobilisation) decree was violated. In some regions, governors are actively working to correct the situation. We hope… all errors will be corrected,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

“No decisions” had been taken on closing Russia’s borders, he told journalists, amid rumours of plans to block draft-eligible Russian men from leaving the country.
