MOSCOW – The Kremlin said on Friday it did not plan a new mobilisation drive for its military operation in Ukraine, amid media reports that students were being served draft notices.
“There is no talk in the Kremlin about some sort of mobilisation wave,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “To be honest, this is the first time I hear about this,” Mr Peskov said. “What notices? Honestly, I don’t even know.” Last week Mr Putin signed off on legislation to create a digital draft system that could bar men from leaving the country amid Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine.
