Russia now allows year-round military drafts, with enlistment in two fixed periods.
Russia’s State Duma has approved a law enabling year-round military conscription, allowing draft-related activities like medical exams and screenings to occur any time from January 1 to December 31.
While enlistment will still be conducted in two fixed deployment periods—April 1 to July 15 and October 1 to December 31—the change marks a shift from seasonal drafting.
The law, introduced by Defense Committee leaders, also limits electronic call-up notice response time to 30 days and follows earlier reforms raising the conscription age to 30 and banning draft evaders from leaving the country.
The move comes amid ongoing military operations and regional tensions.
