Russia proposed to increase recruitment age

The head of the Russian Rights Council Valery Fadeev proposed increasing the draft age of citizens who have received Russian citizenship to 45 or even 50 years, the Council said.

“now naturalized citizens of Russia cannot call for military service, if they are over 27 years old. The Constitution says that the protection of the Fatherland is the duty and duty of a citizen of the Russian Federation, not distinguishing between those who received birth citizenship and who were naturalized . It is necessary to fill out this legal gap and consider the possibility of increasing conscription age, ”Fadeev said.
