Launched on 1 October and lasting until 31 December, it covers all men aged 18 to 30 years who are subject to compulsory military service and are not reservists. This is the second draft run with the raised advanced limit of the age of “young” soldiers, earlier it was 27 years old. The changes began on 1 April, with the beginning of the erstwhile spring draft, which was to power the army by 150 1000 people. The present autumn predicts 133,000 incarnation.
Under the law, universal military service lasts 12 months. First, all recruits are waiting for a period or 2 of basic training, then 3 to six months in depth. Only after that will they be sent to their units. And as is simply a separate point of the bill, soldiers from the draft cannot be directed to armed action after little than 4 months of training, nor can they be sent outside the borders of Russia. – I would like to stress that soldiers in essential military service will not be active in carrying out tasks in the area of peculiar military operations in the fresh regions – he besides specifically explained at a press conference on the rules for the current collection of the Vice Admiral Vladimir Cymlanski, Head of the Organizational and Mobilizational Division of the General Staff.

And a soldier only learns about it erstwhile he gets a payment card and papers confirming receipt of the pay – says Ivan Chuwilayevan organization activist.

However, while open throwing them on the front is inactive not lawful, the Kremlin authorities have just legalised another way of acquiring another “participants of a peculiar military operation”. 2 October Vladimir Putin he signed 2 laws, according to which criminal proceedings will be waived if they sign contracts with the army or are recruited into the military.
