Putin denies new Russian military buildup
Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that Russia currently does not need to call up additional military forces to participate in the war in Ukraine. He described the rumors about a new military mobilization as "disinformation" coming from the Ukrainian side, ahead of the upcoming State Duma elections scheduled for the end of the month. He added that the partial mobilization announced in 2022 targeted only 300,000 people, while the country is currently relying on volunteer citizens and military contracts. This comes amid escalating Ukrainian statements about Moscow's readiness for a new wave of mobilization in the fall, following significant Israeli losses.
