Kremlin Accuses Ukraine of Spreading False Mobilization Claims Amid Speculation

The Kremlin, through press secretary Dmitry Peskov, denied reports of a new mobilization in Russia, calling them 'informational lies' and attributing them to Ukrainian authorities. Speculation about another mobilization has intensified as Russia's battlefield gains slow and its voluntary recruitment system struggles. The Kremlin's denial aligns with multiple state-aligned outlets, while independent sources report the same claims.

Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov directly addressed the allegations, stating that reports of a new mobilization in Russia are 'informational falsehoods' spread by Ukrainian authorities to destabilize the country. This claim was echoed by state-aligned outlets such as TASS, Armenpress, and Izvestia, which cited Peskov's statements as official Kremlin positions. The Kremlin's denial comes amid growing speculation, as reported by Kyiv Independent, which noted that the voluntary recruitment system is struggling to replace mounting losses on the battlefield.
