26 July 08:10
Russian authorities plan to expand mobilization in the fall of 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, citing intelligence reports. He also said that, starting in June, the Voronezh region is preparing to receive 30,000 soldiers from North Korea, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
It is not specified exactly what is meant by the expansion of mobilization. At the same time, according to Zelenskyy, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “is simply preparing to send new Russians to war.”
“He’s disguising it with other words and signals, but he’s preparing. It is important that we and our partners be able to put enough pressure on Russia so that thoughts of ending this aggression come to dominate—thoughts of peace, not of additional Russian mobilization,” said the President of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy added that “Russia wants to receive another 30,000 troops from North Korea.” Pyongyang, according to the Ukrainian leader, is also preparing to transfer new ballistic missile launchers to Moscow. He called the military cooperation between the two countries “a threat to everyone in Asia who is within range of North Korean missiles.” Zelenskyy explained this by noting that Russia is helping North Korea “train for war.”

Zelenskyy also spoke about a “new wave of mobilization” in Russia on July 24
Zelenskyy also mentioned an upcoming “quite significant” wave of mobilization in Russia in his address on July 24.
“Currently, the Russians are losing more of their troops on the front lines than they are recruiting, and Putin still intends to intensify the attacks and expand this war,” the Ukrainian president asserted.
The mobilization decree in Russia remains formally in effect
“Partial mobilization” took place in Russia from late September to early October 2022. In January 2023, Artur Haiduk, head of the Pskov branch of the “Yabloko” party, published the presidential administration’s response to his inquiry, which stated that the presidential decree on “partial mobilization” remains in effect.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov explained at the time that the document also regulates “other measures necessary to ensure the fulfillment of tasks by the armed forces.”
