North Korean missiles strike Zaporizhzhia as Kyiv warns of renewed mobilization

Ukraine says Russia used ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea to hit Zaporizhzhia, killing seven civilians at a Metinvest plant and injuring 21, with other civilian deaths reported in Dnipropetrovsk; Kyiv warns Moscow is preparing a new mobilization and may use the September elections as a pretext, with North Korea reportedly ready to send tens of thousands of troops. Ukraine also says it struck a Russian oil refinery near Orsk as drone activity and cross-border tensions continue; the UN cautions about ongoing detainee abuses in Russia.

"Detentions in Moscow: Protests for Troop Return from Ukraine"

Wives and relatives of Russian soldiers mobilised to fight in Ukraine held a protest in Moscow, calling for their return and marking 500 days since Putin's order for a "partial mobilisation." About two dozen people, mostly journalists, were briefly detained at the demonstration, organized by the campaign group The Way Home. The protesters demanded the return of their loved ones and rejected accusations of being Western stooges, with some laying flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before heading to Putin's campaign headquarters to present their demands.

Putin Contemplates Repeating Invasion of Kyiv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said any further mobilisation would depend on what Russia wanted to achieve in the war in Ukraine, adding that he faced a question only he could answer - should Russia try to take Kyiv again? Putin offered a barrage of warnings to the West, suggesting Russia may have to impose a "sanitary zone" in Ukraine to prevent it attacking Russia and saying Moscow was considering ditching the Black Sea grain deal.

Russia's Controversial Military Recruitment Campaign Targets Men

The Russian military has launched a widespread advertising campaign urging citizens to join the army, as the armed forces have reportedly been suffering heavy losses and struggling to make progress in Ukraine more than a year after invading it. The recruitment drive is likely to have been prompted by the Russian military's desperate need for new soldiers after more than a year of fighting in Ukraine. The campaign in the media has run alongside army advertising in Russia's streets.

Russia's Aggressive Recruitment Drive Targets 'Real' Men on Social Media.

The Russian military has launched a video campaign to recruit more professional soldiers to fight in Ukraine, challenging those interested to show they are "a real man" and swap civilian life for the battlefield. The ad invites men to sign a contract with the Russian Defence Ministry for a salary starting at 204,000 roubles ($2,495) a month. Russia is seeking to recruit up to 400,000 professional soldiers on a volunteer basis to bolster its forces in Ukraine.

Russia Implements Electronic Draft System for Military Recruitment

Russia Implements Electronic Draft System for Military Recruitment

Russian authorities have approved a bill that will allow conscripts and reservists to be served with a draft summons electronically, making it almost impossible to dodge. The new system will collect personal data from the tax office, several government ministries and other Russian authorities, and once the summons is uploaded, the draftee is considered to have been “served”. Those who fail to show up will be banned from leaving Russia and will no longer be able to take out loans, register property or work as entrepreneurs. The electronic system is an upgrade of an outdated system and is not currently planning another mobilisation drive.

Russia Implements Electronic Draft to Prevent Desertion Amid Ukraine War

Russia plans to introduce electronic military draft papers to make it harder for men to avoid being called up to fight in Ukraine. The new proposals will send summons electronically to a potential draftee’s personal account on the main government portal. Citizens who fail to show up at the military enlistment office will be automatically banned from travelling abroad and face a raft of other restrictions to complicate their lives inside Russia. The move is part of a wider push by Moscow to perfect a system it has used to bolster its military forces in Ukraine, though government officials say there are currently no plans to compel more men to fight there.
