Russia Prepares for Mass Mobilization Amidst Troop Deployments and Civilian Flight
Russia is reportedly preparing for a large-scale, forced mobilization to replenish forces in Ukraine, with Ukrainian intelligence claiming an intent to mobilize 600,000 personnel. Concurrently, Ukraine reports the deployment of newly mobilized troops to the Pokrovsk front. These claims, primarily from Ukrainian sources and a single Spanish media outlet, lack independent verification, leading to low confidence in the scope and official confirmation of the mobilization.
