mobilization, Ukrainian intelligence claims, as both sides gear up for a bloody spring.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine\u2019s deputy military intelligence chief, Vadym Skibitsky, claimed Friday that Moscow was considering calling up an additional 500,000 troops ahead of planned offensive operations in the spring and summer, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/jan\/06\/russia-preparing-mobilise-extra-500000-conscripts-claims-ukraine\">The Guardian reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If confirmed, the mobilization would risk a repeat of the unrest caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s attempt to press 300,000 Russians into service this fall. <\/p>\n<p>The divisive draft led to massive protests throughout Russia and caused hundreds of thousands of fighting-aged men to flee the country.<\/p>\n<p>Putin has said since that he is not preparing a second round of mobilization, and that only a fraction of those called up in the fall had been deployed to the front lines.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the bloody war shows no signs of abating, with both sides gearing up for expected offensives in the spring.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"
