According to a document posted on the Kremlin's website on March 31, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on regular spring conscription, calling on 150,000 citizens to perform military service.

All men in Russia from the age of 18 are called up for military service for 1 year.

In July 2023, the Russian State Duma voted to raise the maximum age for men to enlist in the military from 27 to 30. The new law will take effect on January 1, 2024.

In September 2023, President Putin signed an order calling for 130,000 people to join the army in the autumn recruitment campaign.

Previously, in the spring recruitment campaign, Russia planned to call on 147,000 people to join the army.
