Zelensky Reveals: Putin Wants to Re-Mobilize 300,000 Troops Again—Will the Russia-Ukraine Conflict Turn into a Prolonged War?
Russia may conscript another 300,000. As the war drags on, risk-avoidance sentiment rises, putting short-term pressure on BTC.
Zelensky stated that Putin is planning to mobilize another 300,000 people to be deployed to the Ukraine battlefield. If this is true, the war won’t be wrapped up this year. The front lines will continue to be contested in key areas. The last time Russia mobilized 300,000 was in September 2022. At that time, BTC fell more than 10% within a week. This time the scale is comparable, and the market will re-price the “war premium.”
Market impact
- Short term: Geopolitical risk escalates → risk assets seek safety, and crypto—as a high-volatility asset—takes the hit first. The transmission path is direct: institutions cut positions first → BTC spot faces sell pressure → altcoins follow lower. BTC is currently $78,617.6, down 1.81% over the past 24 hours. This news will only intensify selling pressure. ETH is $2,466.82, down 1.21%, and hasn’t fully reflected yet.
- Medium term: Prolonged conflict means Europe’s energy and inflation narratives return, and the Fed’s rate-cut timeline may be delayed. Tighter liquidity continues to weigh on crypto valuations.
My take
I’m bearish in the short term. If BTC can’t absorb selling pressure around the $78,000 area with enough volume, the next support to watch is around $76,500. A rebound toward the $80,000 psychological level will likely get pushed back. ETH’s relative resilience is an illusion—its beta is higher, and it will likely fall harder. The pattern of war news is: day one—market sentiment turns bearish; week two—positions are reduced; now it’s only the first step. Stay on the sidelines and wait for panic selling to show up.
🎯 Impact outlook
- Coins: BTC / ETH
- Direction: Bearish 📉 Expected to fall
- Duration: BTC 12 hours / ETH 24 hours
