Mobilised Russian citizens undergo combat drills at the Sevastopol training ground, as seen in footage filmed on Friday.

The soldiers can be seen practising assembling machine guns, shooting and throwing grenades.

"We are trained in shooting, grenade throwing, [we are learning] chemical and tactical weapons, drone warfare - full combat training. They teach us all at the highest level. There is nothing to say that they do not teach us enough," one of the soldiers, Pavel Ivanov, said. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilisation of 300,000 reservists on Wednesday, September 21. Statistics from various countries bordering Russia suggest that thousands of people have fled the country since the mobilisation was announced. 

Moscow launched the military offensive in Ukraine earlier this year, after recognising the independence of the LPR and DPR.

Kiev condemned the action, while President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered martial law and full mobilisation in February.
