Kremlin pressure is expanding after new reports of possible martial law, the preparation of society for a long confrontation with the West, and Russia's growing economic problems. According to several reports, Moscow is considering tougher internal measures after the September elections to the State Duma, with a signature from Vladimir Putin being all that would be needed to introduce martial law. idnes.cz ↗
Previous reports pointed to a possible mobilization of 300,000 to 500,000 soldiers, which Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly mentioned on Telegram. Dmitry Medvedev denied preparations for a new mobilization, but concerns persist within Russian society. At the same time, Russia has increased the planned strength of its armed forces, is reviving military construction units, and is preparing the population for a long war. dennikn.sk ↗
The war is increasingly spilling over onto Russian territory and the occupied Crimea. Ukrainian drones are striking refineries, fuel stations, and infrastructure, with Crimea reporting power outages, fuel shortages, and gasoline prices of roughly 2.80 euros per liter. Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, has also become a target of Ukrainian attacks, seen as part of the regime's everyday bargain with its population. SITA ↗
New information also reveals weaknesses in Russia's arms and sanctions system. In Russia, an official from the Ministry of Industry was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement related to drone deliveries that turned out to be Chinese-made. At the same time, findings emerged about the flow of sensitive Western technologies into Russia via India and about billions in capital flight by oligarchs leaving the country. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
Diplomatic tension also continues outside Ukraine. Poland rejected Putin's claims about alleged territorial claims against Ukraine, while Armenia, after a phone call between Nikol Pashinyan and Putin, speaks of agreement on some issues. Further developments will show whether the combination of military pressure, sanctions, and internal concerns will force the Kremlin into even harsher measures. hnonline.sk ↗
