[Regnum] Conscripts called up to the Russian Armed Forces during the autumn draft will not be sent to the special military operation (SVO) zone. This was announced by the head of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrei Kartapolov.
He stressed that there had been no changes in the issue of military service, so everything would proceed as it had during the previous call-up.
“Nothing has changed, we didn’t plan to take them, and we won’t plan to do so,” Kartapolov told journalists.
The deputy added that “everything will be fine” for the conscripts.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 31, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the spring conscription of Russian citizens for military service. It began on April 1 and will last until July 15.
According to the new rules, which came into force on January 1, 2024, citizens aged 18 to 30 are subject to conscription for military service, excluding those who turned 27 before the end of 2023 and those who are 28 or 29 years old and who are in the reserve. The Russian Armed Forces must recruit 150 thousand people - 3 thousand recruits more than in the spring conscription of 2023. The autumn conscription will take place from October 1 to December 31.
