Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has indicated that Russia is preparing for a new military mobilization after the parliamentary elections scheduled for this September. According to Zelensky, this move could entail a rapid mobilization of several hundred thousand Russians by the end of the year. In recent statements, he stressed the importance of Ukraine being prepared to face this situation.

Additionally, Zelensky noted that the United States has the capability to press Moscow to halt the ongoing conflict. This statement comes amid reports of Russian attacks in Zaporizhzhia, where residential areas and a shopping center sustained damage. Fires were also reported at a Wildberries hub in Russia.

The European Union has commented on the recent ban of the pacifist party, suggesting that the Kremlin is acting from a position of fear. These developments reflect an escalation of tension in the region, as Ukraine and its allies seek measures to contain Russian aggression.
