Russian media commentators were joking about this. Snowden's lawyer actually responded and said that under the current mobilization orders, he wouldn't be called up because he hasn't previously served in the Russian Armed Forces.
Someone should tell his lawyers that in Russia, you will get called up even if you are literally incapacitated as long as some dude's pen lands on your name.
Washington Post referred to Snowden as "someone who refers to himself as a whistleblower".
They do not even hide it anymore.
Now he can be mobilized.

Unlike the US, where its some dude-in-a-skirts penis landing in your child.
