> Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused Ukrainian authorities of spreading claims about a possible new mobilization in Russia to “ideologically destabilize” the country. He called the reports deliberately planted fabrications. Speculation about a mobilization after State Duma elections has circulated for weeks; Volodymyr Zelensky alleges Russia may seek to mobilize up to 300,000 people in the fall, which Russian authorities deny.
