Kremlin calls reports of new mobilization in Russia ‘fabricated stories’

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed reports of new mobilization in Russia as "fabricated stories" told by Ukrainian authorities, according to Russian media outlet RTVI. Peskov told journalists that these claims are part of an effort by the Ukrainian regime to "ideologically destabilize" the situation in Russia. The Kremlin spokesperson made these remarks when questioned about the possibility of another mobilization being announced after the upcoming State Duma elections.
Reports of a potential mobilization have circulated for weeks, with sources including Meduza, Western media, and Ukrainian officials all suggesting that Russian authorities are considering mobilizing up to 300,000 individuals in the fall. However, Peskov denied these plans, stating that "at the moment" there was no talk of mobilization.
