  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated his warning about a Russian mobilization on August 11, according to Ukrainian intelligence. In his evening address, Zelenskyy confirmed former Defense Intelligence head Oleh Ivashchenko's report about Russian preparations for a new wave of mobilization following the upcoming parliamentary elections in the fall. Zelenskyy stated that the Russian plan is to create the illusion that the Russian people broadly support the war. He also noted that the parties permitted to participate in the parliamentary vote are, in some way, opposed to peace. According to Zelenskyy, Russia intends to rapidly mobilize several hundred thousand more Russians by the end of the year, with a similar number to be recruited the following year, in addition to their existing contract recruitment programs. Zelenskyy believes that additional mobilization and the inclusion of North Korean forces will enable Putin to prolong the war and strengthen Russian offensives.",
