In the Russian Federation, raids began on recruits: five people were detained in Moscow - the media
According to sources, the military enlistment offices are delivered not only to those who are recognized as suitable for service, but also by citizens with chronic diseases previously released from conscription. In some cases, the detainees were immediately accompanied by points, others stopped communicating after detention.
It is noted that such practice has become part of a large -scale campaign to replenish the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in conditions of scarcity of personnel stored. The decree on spring conscription was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2025. The plan provides for a recruitment of 160 thousand people - this is the highest indicator in recent years. For comparison, 150 thousand people were called in 2024, 147 thousand in 2023, and in 2022 - 135.
5 thousand. At the same time, Russia has faced difficulties when recruiting contractors. According to The Moscow Times, daily expenses for recruitment exceeds 2 billion rubles (about $ 23. 7 million). Nevertheless, only 1000-1500 contractors are replenished daily, most of whom are recruited in economically disadvantaged regions.
"The inflow of" volunteers "remains at the levels of the end of last year, despite the fact that the mass increase of bonuses in the regions has stopped, and their average size of 37 entities of the Russian Federation is now 1. 4 million rubles," - the newspaper writes. According to human rights activists, compulsory measures for conscripts and potential contractors become a systemic element of Moscow's policy on mobilization in the conditions of prolonged conflict and marriage of volunteers.
