Russia recruits 200,000 in first half
Russian officials, including Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, denied the existence of a plan to increase military conscription, despite approximately 200,000 volunteers signing contracts to serve in the Russian armed forces during the first half of the year. Meanwhile, Kiev accuses Russia of attempting to mobilize forces to compensate for its losses on the battlefield. Medvedev confirmed that Russian forces have met their personnel needs, while independent reports indicate that Russia is intentionally attracting volunteers through high bonuses and salaries, amid uncertainty and skepticism about the true nature of the new conscription plans. Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that talks with the United States regarding the developments of the war were positive, with both sides prepared to enhance their efforts to achieve peace.
