Vasiliev is supposed to report to the military commissar based on the fourth floor, which he says he is unable as he moves around in a wheelchair.
“He is not able to report to the military commissar because he moves around in a wheelchair and the appointment is scheduled for the fourth floor,” the Sota news agency reported.
Putin's forces have suffered a loss of over 80,000 casualties since the invasion of Ukraine began.
The Kremlin leader had earlier avoided ordering the mobilisation which was last done in 1941.
On February 24, Putin emphasised that his invasion of Ukraine was a special operation.
Men fleeing Russia
Putin's mobilisation order has triggered panic among men believed to be of fighting age which has led to the men fleeing Russia in their multitudes.
A woman who spoke to The Telegraph on condition of anonymity said:
“My cousin is hiding her daughter’s husband in their house at the moment because he received the call to mobilise. It was lucky that he had already left his village as that night police came and took all the men.”
In most regions of Russia, men have been ordered to mobilise, including retired army officers in their 60s and men admitted to the hospital.
