Russians who fled fear Putin is quietly preparing a new mobilization

Politico Europe, in a report by journalist Daria Zakharova, says that Russians who fled the country are expressing concern that President Vladimir Putin could be secretly preparing a new mobilization drive.

The available material does not specify further details on the possible scope, timing or form of such a mobilization.

The report comes against the backdrop of Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine, where the question of replenishing military manpower remains a recurring issue for both Russian authorities and the international community.
