The bill introduced by Andrei Kartapolov, a former general who chairs the State Duma’s defence committee, seeks to push back the age of conscription to compulsory military service to 21-30 years
A senior Russian lawmaker on Monday introduced a bill to push back the age of conscription to compulsory military service to 21-30 years from the current 18-27 years.
President Vladimir Putin gave his backing in December to Defence Ministry proposals to push back the age range. Conscripts cannot legally be deployed outside Russia. However, in September Moscow unilaterally annexed four Ukrainian regions where fighting is continuing, and now considers them Russian territory.
