Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on conscription of citizens of the Russian Federation who are in the reserve for military training in 2022. The document was published on the official portal legal information.
According to the document, in 2022, citizens of the Russian Federation who are in reserve will undergo military training in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the troops of the national guard of the Russian Federation, state security agencies and federal security service agencies.
The government and regional authorities were instructed to ensure the implementation of measures related to the call-up of Russians who are in the reserve for training and their holding. The Decree comes into force from the date of publication – on Friday, February 18.
Gatherings of citizens of the Russian Federation who are in the reserve of the Armed Forces are a planned event to improve the combat skills of reservists and are held annually. The total duration of military training for citizens in the reserve cannot exceed two months.
Last year, Putin signed a decree calling up Russian citizens in reserve for military training in April. Then the Russians passed them in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the bodies of the federal security service.
In the fall of 2021, 127.5 thousand people aged 18 to 27 went to serve in the Russian Armed Forces. The autumn conscription for military service took place from October 1 to December 31.
As Vitaly Cherkashin, deputy head of the Main Center for Military Medical Expertise of the Russian Defense Ministry, said, the country has increased the requirements for the health of conscripts. It was noted that we are talking about recruits who are at risk of sudden death from cardiovascular diseases, as well as in relation to citizens after tuberculosis.
Lawyer Yuri Kulagin clarified that so far there have been no corresponding changes in the legislation. Probably, we are talking about internal recommendations for employees of military enlistment offices to more carefully identify potentially sick recruits, he admitted.
