> Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused Ukrainian authorities of spreading reports about a possible new Russian mobilization to “ideologically destabilize the situation” in Russia. Speculation has intensified as battlefield gains slow and voluntary recruitment struggles to offset losses. Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia could mobilize around 300,000 people after September’s State Duma elections, while Moscow has repeatedly denied such plans.
