Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is likely to mobilize at least 300,000 more troops for its military operations in Ukraine, particularly following the upcoming parliamentary elections. Reports indicate that Russia is testing its readiness for a new wave of mobilization, with intelligence suggesting preparations at training grounds. Despite denials from Russian officials about mass mobilization plans, speculation persists regarding covert recruitment measures and a potential offensive towards Kyiv and Chernihiv. Ukraine remains on high alert as it prepares to counter these developments amidst claims of a significant defense spending shortfall.
