Russia raised the maximum age at which men can be conscripted to 30, increasing the number of young men liable for a year of compulsory military service.

Posted: Jul 25, 2023 7:41 PM EDT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

The new legislation, which comes into effect on Jan. 1, means men will be required to carry out a year of military service, or equivalent training during higher education, between the ages of 18 and 30, rather than 18 and 27 as now. Conscripts cannot legally be deployed to fight outside Russia and were in theory exempted from a limited mobilization last autumn that gathered at least 300,000 men with previous military training to fight in Ukraine — although some conscripts were sent to the front in error.
