The Kremlin has said there are no plans to call up more Russian soldiers to fight in Ukraine through a second round of mobilisation, Qazet.az reports.

Asked about the potential for a new round of mobilisation, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said:

I can’t speak for the defence ministry, but there are no discussions in the Kremlin about this.

President Vladimir Putin announced plans to draft 300,000 men to fight in Ukraine in September, marking Russia’s first mobilisation since the second world war following a string of military defeats.

Russia’s defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, announced the end to the “partial mobilisation” in October.
