Putin‘a spokesman Peskov who’s famous for notoriously making public statements in complete opposition to reality, which gave birth to meme “Don’t believe anything about Russia before Peskov denies it”, just denied the second wave of total conscription.
@Coctaanatis they are going to have trouble equipping new conscripts too, but a) it's still an army capable of killing Ukrainians, and b) no one in the Kremlin gives a damn. This war must go on if they want to stay in power.
