PEskov denied CNN’s report on the study of the possibility of mobilizing 200 thousand people Dmitry Peskov denied CNN’s data on the discussion in the Kremlin of plans to mobilize another 200 thousand people. Moscow has repeatedly denied reports of plans for a new mobilization
The data that Russian President Vladimir Putin is studying the possibility of additional mobilization of another 200 thousand people are unreliable, the representative of the head of state Dmitry Peskov told TASS.
“Yes. Is», — he answered the agency’s question whether this information is as unreliable as the previously appeared data on the resumption of mobilization in Russia.
Earlier, CNN reported on Putin’s study of such a possibility, citing sources familiar with intelligence data. According to them, the president may make an appropriate decision in the next few weeks to “regain the initiative” in the fighting. According to the publication, CIA Director Bill Burns informed Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about these data in early January during a visit to Kiev.
Putin most likely has not yet made a decision on this issue, because “he is almost certainly concerned about the negative consequences for society and negative economic echoes,” a senior Western intelligence official told CNN.
Partial mobilization in Russia lasted from September 21 to the end of October, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu then announced its completion. Putin said that 318 thousand people, including volunteers, were mobilized. The presidential decree on the completion of mobilization was not signed, the Kremlin answers questions about it that “the point has been put”, and urges not to believe the information about the resumption of conscription.
Peskov later noted that the conscription was stopped as part of the mobilization, but the presidential decree on its beginning continues to operate, since the document includes “other measures necessary to ensure the fulfillment of tasks by the armed forces”. “This is related to the performance of duties by military personnel, etc. In this part, the decree continues to work,” he said in the middle of January.
