Quick Glance: Putin's Decree Initiates Spring Military Conscription of 150,000 Russians
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken action by signing a decree to commence the routine spring conscription campaign, summoning 150,000 citizens for mandatory military service.
- Upon reaching 18 years of age, all males in Russia are mandated to complete a year-long military service obligation or undergo equivalent training during their higher education.
- The issue of compulsory military service has always been a delicate matter in Russia, with numerous men resorting to extreme measures to evade receiving conscription documents during the biannual call-up periods.
- It is important to note that conscripts are prohibited by law from being deployed outside of Russia and were specifically excused from a restricted mobilization in 2022 that brought together over 300,000 men with prior military experience to participate in combat in Ukraine - despite a few conscripts being erroneously sent to the frontlines.
