Well, Russia is going to mobilize on Victory Day, I guess

[speak easy]

Here are some recent comments from Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, who said Russia has been looking into various options as it braces for an oil embargo from the European Union, Reuters reports.

Asked about speculation that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, plans to declare war against Ukraine in a speech on 9 May, Peskov replied:

There is no chance of that. It’s nonsense.

The 9 May Victory Day is one of Russia’s most important national events and there is speculation that Putin could be preparing for a major announcement with a range of possible scenarios ranging from an outright declaration of war to a declaration of victory.

Peskov said that people should not listen to speculation that there could be a decision on a national mobilisation.

No wonder Republicans identify with this bunch of lying thugs and war criminals.
