> Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says revised mobilization rules are pushing Ukrainians into servitude and forcing them to the front. She said Ukraine’s July 29 Resolution No. 981 requires men aged 18 to 60 seeking consular services to have their military data checked, with eligible individuals potentially enlisted automatically through database integration. She added that mobilizing Ukrainian women is again on the political agenda.
