Update.
The Fighting.
Allegedly a Ukrainian recon team crossed into Russia, was engaged by Russian Border Guard, and two BMPs came from the Ukrainian side to support. The recon team and both BMPs were destroyed. One Ukrainian soldier was captured alive. The alleged incident took place across the border from Lugansk, nowhere near the Azov sea.

Allegedly, a second Ukrainian recon time crossed the DNR front line near Shirokino, and entered the no-man's land between the Ukrainian state border and Russian state border. They apparently attacked a Russian FSB border post but were repelled. Two armored vehicles are claimed used, based on the footage provided they appear to be BTRs. Please note this report in particular looks fishy. The geography doesn't make sense, and the fact that it also involves "2 vehicles" raises questions if this and the other report actually refer to the same thing. On the other hand there were reports yesterday of a VSU breakthrough near Mariupol' so perhaps this is a separate incident.

It appears the mobilization, at least in LNR territory, is voluntary. This makes sense. Not only is there no real way to forcibly mobilize people but also no way to effectively arm or organize the tens-hundreds of thousands in question.
