Zelenskyy: Internal Russian documents confirm preparations for autumn mobilisation
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had received confirmation that Russia is preparing for a mobilization this autumn and that Ukraine is preparing to take active countermeasures.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that he has received confirmation from internal Russian documents that Russia is preparing for a mobilization this autumn. This comes after the sham parliamentary elections, according to the Main Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense, as reported by Oleh Ivashchenko. Russia's plan, as outlined by Zelenskyy, involves making it appear as though Russians support the war, with all currently allowed parties opposing peace.
Following the elections, Russia intends to carry out a rapid mobilization of several hundred thousand Russians by the end of the year, with the same number again planned for the following year. In addition to this, Zelenskyy also mentioned that Ukraine is preparing for active countermeasures to make it as difficult as possible for Russia to execute these plans. He has assigned relevant tasks to Ukraine's intelligence agencies and special services.
