Russian official Dmitry Medvedev denied claims that Russia is preparing a new military mobilization, calling them a provocation by opponents ahead of elections aimed at destabilizing the situation and creating negative sentiment. He emphasized that there is no need for mobilization. Medvedev linked these disinformation efforts to a lack of personnel in opposing forces, stating that they suffer from a shortage of fighters. He described alleged forced recruitment methods used against civilians, including beating them and putting them into buses.
