The submission to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of a bill on raising the draft age suggests that the authorities do not plan to carry out a full mobilization.
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War are convinced that the State Duma’s intention to raise the draft age in Russia indicates that the Kremlin does not plan to carry out a full mobilization. This is stated in the ISW report for Monday, March 13th.
The previous day, the State Duma of the Russian Federation registered a bill on raising the draft age. They want to raise the maximum draft age in Russia immediately from 27 to 30, and they plan to raise the minimum from 18 to 21 in stages, raising the draft age by one year each year.
The immediate increase in the maximum draft age is likely intended to widen the age range for conscription to meet a certain portion of the immediate manpower needs of the Russian military in Ukraine, and subsequently to reduce general requirements of Russian society for conscription in the coming years, analysts. say.
“The Kremlin may be trying to protect a new generation of Russians from the demographic and social consequences of the conflict in Ukraine by distributing these consequences to a group of Russians,” the report said.
It was previously reported that in Russia they were complaining that those mobilized were being thrown “like meat.”
