Putin wants to draft 300,000 new troops, Zelenskiy says

Zelenskiy warns Russia may draft another 300,000 troops after September’s parliamentary vote — possibly rising to 500,000 by 2027.
He says Russia is ramping up missile production and strikes, and Ukraine is bracing for a difficult winter with a shortage of interceptors and funding.
Ukraine reports recent battlefield gains and has stepped up drone strikes on Russian economic targets, widening the conflict beyond the front lines.
