I feel "partial" in 'partial mobilization' intends to be deceptive. The version of the decree released to the public [1] contains nothing limiting number of recruits. That number is specified in a classified portion of the decree [2]. If it simply stated the same number Putin and Shoigu claim (300k), I doubt it would need to be classified. Sounds like they're masking this as "partial" mobilization in the same way they've masked their war as a "special military operation."

And just hours later, we're starting to see reports claiming exactly this: "Hidden paragraph of Putin's decree allows to mobilise 1 million Russians". Granted, that's a Ukrainian news article, but I won't be surprised if the true scope of Putin's claimed "partial" mobilization ends up being far more than they're masking it as.
