The State Duma approved in the second reading bill on raising the age limit for being in the reserve by 5 years for citizens with the military ranks of soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen, warrant officers and midshipmen.
The age limit for the stay of the reserve in the mobilization reserve has been increased: for senior officers – up to 65 years (now 60 years), for junior officers – up to 60 years (now 55 years), for those with other ranks – up to 55 years (today 45 years). For those with the rank of senior officers, the age limit remains at the level of 70 years.
The age limit for the listed military servicemen belonging to the first category is increased from 35 to 40 years, for the second category – from 45 to 50 years, for the third category – from 50 to 55 years. The amendments also provide for the possibility of concluding a contract with a citizen who has citizenship (nationality) of another state, under the age of 52 years.
According to the amendments, from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2028, a transitional period is provided, during which citizens will be transferred to retirement in stages. So, citizens who turn 50 years old in 2024 will stay in the reserve until 51 years old, those who turn 50 years old in 2025 – up to 52 years old.
The bill was submitted to the State Duma in November 2022 by a group of deputies headed by Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the Duma Defense Committee. The explanatory note to the document noted that amendments to the law “On military duty and military service” are being introduced in order to clarify that citizens of the Russian Federation, while in active service or in reserve, can enter military service under a contract to participate in the conduct of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation transactions outside the country. The amendments were supposed to include a special military operation in the list of activities in which the Russian military can participate.
