State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin on Thursday said Russia isn’t planning a military mobilization, Trend reports citing TASS.
"No, no, no," he said when asked if a mobilization was planned. "I’ll tell you this on and off the air."
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier said news reports stating that Russia planned to announce a mass mobilization on the Victory Day were nonsensical.
