Putin forced to change law on conscripts’ age as Russian military forces devastated

The Russian President has repeatedly denied having plans for a second mobilisation but rights advocates and media outlets in Russia reported this week that men in several dozen regions were being served summons.

Vladimir Putin is planning to change Russia’s laws on military conscription in a bid to be able to force more young men in his country to fight the war on Ukraine. The Russian leader is looking into changing the current age requirement for conscripts from 18-27 to 21-30 in order to force more men in higher education to serve for the country, the UK Minostry of Defence says.
