Oficiali ruși încearcă să-și deschidă conturi la bănci străine, pe fondul zvonurilor privind mobilizarea
In recent months, high-ranking Russian officials have sought to open foreign bank accounts and transfer assets abroad amid rumors of a new military mobilization. Military recruitment officers are reportedly doing the same and advising friends and family to leave Russia. Speculation about a potential mobilization of up to 300,000 soldiers this fall has been fueled by various sources, including Ukrainian authorities. Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed these mobilization rumors as absurd and an informational attack against Russia, while his spokesperson accused Ukraine of trying to destabilize the situation in Russia.
