Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree for the conscription of 135,000 men aged 18 to 30 into military service. This draft will take place from October 1 to December 31, 2025, marking the largest autumn intake since 2016.
This decision reflects a significant increase in military recruitment efforts, as the number of conscripts is the highest recorded in nine years. The decree aims to bolster the Russian armed forces during the autumn draft period.
