The Kremlin has made the unusual move of acknowledging its made mistakes during the recent call up of 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine.

It comes after President Vladimir Putin made the announcement last week, leading to widespread protests across the country.

The Kremlin has admitted that mistakes were made in its recent drive to mobilise Russian army reservists to fight in the conflict in Ukraine.

The admission came amid growing public opposition to the deployment of Russian troops in the country.

In a statement, the Kremlin said that it had “listened to the concerns of Russian citizens” and would take measures to “address the issues that have been raised”.

It is believed that up to 30,000 Russian soldiers have been deployed to Ukraine in recent months, with many of them coming from reserve units.

The strategic mobilisation of reservists is a highly sensitive issue in Russia, and the Kremlin has come under fire for doing so without consulting the public.

Nevertheless, the admission of mistakes is a rare step for the Kremlin, and underscores the level of public opposition to the deployment of Russian troops in Ukraine.

Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the U.S.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.

But the Chinese tech company, ByteDance—which owns TikTok— denies the allegations.
