Russian officials, including Deputy of the State Duma Andrei Kolесnik, stated that no new mobilization wave is planned in Russia, emphasizing that military personnel needs are being met through contract soldiers and volunteers. The government denies any intention to conduct mobilization, especially after September 2026 elections.
Consensus
- No new wave of mobilization is planned in Russia.
- The Russian armed forces are being replenished through contract soldiers and volunteer formations.
- There are no official normative acts or presidential decrees regarding a new mobilization.
- Military personnel needs are currently met without the need for additional mobilization.
Points of divergence
- The law expanding eligibility for military contracts to individuals with unsuspended or unexpunged convictions is unrelated to the declaration of a state of emergency, and excludes 'rapists, maniacs, terrorists' from such opportunities. — vm
- The rumors about mobilization after the September 2026 parliamentary elections are artificially generated by opponents to sow panic, provoke population outflow, and reduce voter turnout. — gazeta_spb
