Hence why Putin announced the annexation of the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts in his super duper totally for real referendum.

Conscripts were never legally speaking supposed to be used outside of Russia, and by changing what is Russia, Putin got what he wants without needing to change what a "conscript" is.

They already thought of the counter propaganda. They decided part of Ukraine were actually independent therefore they can send a whole lot of "armed tourists" there.

No, they decided part of Ukraine is now part of Russia so technically the conscripts are not leaving russian territory.

"Updated: Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for the Russian dictator, later claimed that the information about the ban was untrue: "This is a common act of information sabotage." Earlier, it was reported that the Russian Federation was preparing for a new wave of mobilisation. It will take about two months to equip and initially train the "replenishments"."

Sounds like they took a different route
