MOSCOW, July 28. /TASS/. By spreading rumors about impending mobilization in Russia, the enemy is seeking to destabilize the situation ahead of the elections, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said.

"This is part of the propaganda campaign ahead of the elections," he said at a meeting of the Russian Security Council’s commission on contracting servicemen for the Russian army.

"Obviously, they are seeking to destabilize the situation in our country, create negative moods," he noted.

"This manifests itself in various ways - even in posts on a number of social media platforms," Medvedev said, citing as an example pseudo-campaigning encouraging people to enlist as contract soldiers "without waiting" for the draft.
