British intelligence officials believe the Kremlin could change the age category to increase the number of troops.
Russia’s ruling regime may expand conscription to meet its military needs. About this Saturday, March 18, saying goodbye the British Ministry of Defense, citing the intelligence data on its Twitter account.
In particular, on March 13, 2023, deputies of the Russian State Duma introduced a bill to change the conscription age category for military service to men aged 21-30 from the current 18-27 years. The law is likely to be passed and take effect in January 2024, according to British intelligence.
Russia continues to ban conscripts from participating in operations in Ukraine, though hundreds likely served due to administrative confusion or after being forced to sign contracts.
The Kremlin regime could also change the age category to increase the number of troops, according to Britain, adding that it is likely that students will eventually be forced to serve.
“Even if Russia continues to avoid using conscripts in the war, additional conscripts will free up a large part of professional soldiers to fight,” the ministry summary concluded.
