Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that publications about a possible mobilization in Russia this coming autumn are "paid for," reports UNN citing Russian media.
The enemy's attempts to spread any nonsense about mobilization being prepared in the country are nothing more than a deceitful provocation. This is part of propaganda ahead of the elections. They are, of course, trying to destabilize the situation
According to Russian media, at a meeting of the Security Council on the staffing of the Russian Armed Forces, Medvedev also stated that in the first six months of 2026, about 200,000 people signed contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
