Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has addressed a possible new mobilization in Russia. He reports that this mobilization could take place in the fall after the parliamentary elections. According to Zelensky, this information comes from intelligence reports as well as Russian documents that outline the conscription of hundreds of thousands of Russians by the end of the year.

Additionally, Zelensky warned of potential support for Russia from North Korea, including in the form of soldiers and missiles. This could further enhance Russia's military capabilities in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The warnings come at a time when Ukraine has already raised alarms about new threats from Russia.

The Ukrainian government has previously expressed similar concerns, particularly regarding the support that Russia may receive from various countries. Zelensky's statements highlight the ongoing uncertainty in the context of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
