Until the end of the elections to Russia's State Duma, Russia will try not to show any signs of mobilization, but afterward it may change its rhetoric.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this while speaking to journalists, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"Russia will now communicate that there is no mobilization. They need to calm society down. They don't want to show mobilization or frighten anyone with anything because elections to the Duma are underway in Russia," Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian side believes that mobilization measures could begin in Russia after the elections. However, it is not yet known whether this will be a "covert or open mobilization."
"We understand the figure: at least 300,000 additional Russian soldiers – that is what they are counting on," Zelensky said.
