?Information Ducks’: Kremlin Dismisses Mobilization Rumors

The Kremlin on Tuesday dismissed growing speculation that President Vladimir Putin may announce another mobilization wave following next month’s parliamentary elections, calling reports about a possible new draft deliberate fabrications. “The Ukrainian authorities are spreading all of this,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with the broadcaster RTVI. “Their regime is trying to destabilize our country ideologically.” “All of this amounts to ‘information ducks’” — fabrications — “deliberately dumped into the news cycle,” he added.
