Kursk region officials have refused to release details about any new mobilization, according to the regional government’s official group on the social network. The post underscores that the administration will communicate directly about such measures when necessary and through formal channels.
The regional authorities also note that Ukrainian special services continue to spread information within the Kursk region. They urge residents to rely on official statements and caution against unverified reports circulating online.
The government pointed to a fake document about a new mobilization circulating online, attributed to the Ukrainian Information and Psychological Operations Center. Officials stated that the information is false and urged the public to consider the source and verify claims with official communications.
In another regional update, an earlier report mentioned that spring conscription in the Murmansk region would rely on traditional paper subpoenas. The city military commissariat clarified there would be no electronic summons in that region, and draftees would receive classic orders to appear at military registration and enlistment offices.
On February 20, comments from Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu were cited in coverage noting that about five hundred thousand mobilized individuals had taken leave, with a small fraction not returning to the area where special military operations were underway. The remarks are part of ongoing discussions about personnel movements and deployment patterns within Russia’s armed forces.
The report also referenced a former French general who has commented on Russia’s communications strategies amid the current security situation. The aim appears to be shaping perceptions of mobilization and defense policy through public discourse and media narratives, a reminder of how information can travel quickly in times of tension.
