Andrey Kartapolov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, said that conscripts would not be sent to serve in the new subjects of the Russian Federation – the regions of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhia and from Cherson. This is reported by Interfax.
“In the new subjects of the Russian Federation – these are the people’s republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions – conscription will not be carried out in the spring at all,” Kartapolov said.
In 2023, spring conscription will take place from April 1 to July 15. Recall that the 2022 fall draft began a month later than usual – on November 1.
Recall that earlier a draft of a gradual increase in the draft age for military service was submitted to the State Duma. It provides for a transitional period until 2026. The State Duma announced that conscripts will not be sent to serve in the new subjects of the Russian Federation
