“The question of the next mobilization — indefinite, short-term or unexpected — I don’t see yet,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Bondarev stressed that the decision to mobilize is the prerogative of the President of Russia and the country's Ministry of Defense.
Earlier, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied CNN information about plans to announce a new mobilization.
Peskov also explained that within the framework of the presidential decree on partial mobilization, the conscription of Russian citizens for military service has been completed, but the document refers to other measures necessary to ensure the tasks of the armed forces.
