Russia is preparing to widen conscription in order to shore up its military strength, according to British intelligence.
on the course of the war in Ukraine, Britain’s Ministry of Defence observed that members of the State Duma — the lower house of Russia’s federal legislature — had “introduced a bill to change the age bracket for conscription to men aged 21-30 years, from the current 18-27.”
While the number of years covered by the age bracket is unchanged, men towards the lower end of the current 18-27 bracket are often able to claim an exemption from service due to being in higher education. “The [Russian] authorities are highly likely changing the age bracket to bolster troop numbers by ensuring that students are eventually forced to serve,” the MoD suggested, noting that the new law is likely to pass and come into effect by January 2024.Find out more about Defence Intelligence's use of language:
