Zelensky again says a mobilization is being prepared in Russia.

Zelensky again said that a mobilization is being prepared in Russia.

“There was a report from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine — from Oleh Ivashchenko — about preparations for a Russian mobilization. All of this is confirmed by internal Russian documents — they are preparing it for the fall, immediately after the imitation of parliamentary elections. Putin’s plan is not especially complicated: he wants to create the impression that Russians supposedly support the war — all parties that are still allowed in one way or another oppose peace. And then, after the so-called elections, he plans an additional, rapid mobilization of several hundred thousand Russians by the end of the year, plus just as many more next year,” he said.

Earlier, Zelensky spoke about a mobilization being prepared in Russia on July 25 and August 8. The Kremlin denies it.
