Against the backdrop of reports about a new mobilization in russia
The statement came amid reports that Russia was preparing a new mobilization campaign. According to Western intelligence, Russian military officials are already checking the regions' readiness for a possible call-up.
Earlier, sources in the U.S. administration suggested that a new mobilization could begin after the September elections to the State Duma. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia could mobilize between 300,000 and 500,000 people in the autumn due to a shortage of military personnel.
The Moscow Times also reports cases of covert mobilization in Russia. Over the past month and a half, residents of at least 17 regions have reported detentions and coercion to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
