The "transition period will not": in the Russian Federation from January 1 will increase the conscript age
The document was supported by the profile committee of the State Duma from Defense. According to the amendments, a gradual increase in the upper limit of conscription age is not expected. So, next year, men aged 18 to 30 will be subject to conscription. "This federal law comes into force on the date of its official publication, except for the provisions for which this article has set a different term of their entry into force," the document reads.
In June, deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation considered in the first reading a bill to increase the conscript age. The document provided that in the period up to 2026 the age boundaries would gradually shift from 18-27 to 21-30. However, it was later decided to leave the lower bar at the former level - 18 years. In case of adoption, the law must come into force in 2024.
The bill also enables citizens from 27 to 30 years of age, who are in stock and have not passed military service on the call, without having legitimate grounds, to pass it at will. The rules on raising the conscript age to 30 years will not affect the autumn conscription in 2023. Previously, a gradual increase in the conscription age of the conscript service was up to 21 years.
Thus, the conscript age in 2024 will be from 19 to 30 years, in 2025 - from 20 to 30 years, in 2026 - from 21 to 30 years. We will remind, on July 25 it was reported that while the Russian Federation is leading a full -scale war against Ukraine, the event will not be able to cure it from nuclear threats. For Putin's regime, the issue of war is of vital importance, so you should be particularly careful about public discussions in Russia.
