Russia prepares additional mobilisation, Zelenskyy says

The regime of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has been tasked with increasing the contingent of the Russian forces, which shows that Moscow does not genuinely plan to engage in peace talks.

Quote: "We are also receiving increasing amounts of internal Russian information regarding preparations for additional mobilisation in the aggressor state. Above all, this is intended to compensate for the particularly high losses of the Russian army on the occupied territory of Ukraine. Russia's political leadership has set the task of increasing the occupation contingent, which means at least tens of thousands more personnel. We also have data regarding a further expansion of mobilisation. It is precisely for this purpose that the Russian authorities have stepped up the issuance of so-called mobilisation orders.

We view these Russian steps as confirmation that Moscow is not preparing for real diplomacy."

Details: Zelenskyy said Ukraine will share the available data with its partners.

Quote: "Russia must end its war, and the world has leverage. We are working at every level to protect Ukraine and push Russia toward diplomacy."
