Ukraine's President Warns of New Russian Mobilization Threat. In a stark warning, Ukraine's president has claimed that Russia plans to use its upcoming election as a pretext to launch a new wave of mobilization, potentially drawing hundreds of thousands of more soldiers into the conflict. The election, scheduled for next month, is seen as a key moment in the country's leadership transition, but Ukraine's president believes it will be exploited by Moscow to justify further military action. As the war between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate, concerns are growing about the potential for a significant increase in Russian troop numbers, which could have devastating consequences for the people of Ukraine. The president's warning comes as tensions between the two nations remain high, with both sides accusing each other of escalating the conflict.


Ukraine's president also says Russia will use its election next month as a pretext to declare a new mobilisation.
