"In order to be guaranteed to solve the problems of Russian military safety, it is necessary to bring the number of armed forces up to 1. 5 million servicemen, in particular servicemen under contract - up to 695 thousand people," - said the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. In order to effectively recruit the occupying troops, he also instructed to complete the digital transformation of Russian military enlistment offices.
According to the head of the department, the declared mobilization in Russia was needed to stabilize the situation, "protection of occupied territories" and further offensive actions. Partial mobilization, as Sergei Shoiga said, has become a criterion for the maturity of Russian society, a serious test for the country and its army. "We were faced with the difficulties in the alert and the call of the citizens who were in stock.
Shoigu at a meeting of the Ministry of Defense Board proposed to increase the age for military service for conscription from 18 years to 21 years, and the marginal - from 27 to 30 years. The minister promises to increase age in stages. "To provide the opportunity to enter the military service under contract or be called from the first day of arrival to the service," he said.
