Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council Yuri Vorobyov said that the increase in the draft age to 21 will not affect the delay for students.
Earlier, the head of the State Duma Committee on Defense Andrei Kartapolov said that an increase in the age of conscription may occur next year, but this requires an official proposal from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Yesterday, during an expanded meeting of the collegium of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on December 21, the head of the department, Sergei Shoigu, proposed a phased increase in the draft age to 21 years. He also proposed raising the age limit for conscription to 30 years.
In addition, Shoigu said that it is necessary to increase the number of the RF Armed Forces to 1.5 million people, including 695,000 contract soldiers.
