Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a decree for the mobilization of reserve officers, bTV reports. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence this is a planned mobilization.
The official Russian authorities described the words by US President Joe Biden that Vladimir Putin has made the decision to invade Ukraine in the coming days, as disinformation.
The joint military exercises close to Ukraine are drawing to a close and Russia is planning to withdraw its military units, according to local media. However, the US President is skeptical about Russia’s pullout from the border with Ukraine.
