Reports indicate the Kremlin is preparing for a new wave of mobilization following September’s Duma elections, according to independent Russian media outlets Vyorstka and Vazhnye Istorii. This development comes as the war in Ukraine reaches its 1582nd day on June 24, 2026. Sources suggest a loss of confidence within the Kremlin regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump. The timing of the potential mobilization is strategically linked to the conclusion of the parliamentary elections. These actions signal a possible escalation in Russia’s military efforts in Ukraine. Further details regarding the scope and implementation of the mobilization remain unclear. The reported shift in Putin’s perspective on Trump adds a new dimension to the geopolitical context of the conflict.
