Vladimir Putin has signed an annual decree on the conscription of Russian citizens who are in reserve for military training in 2024.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Putin's decree.
"I decree to call up in 2024 citizens of the Russian Federation who are in reserve to undergo military training in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation," the decree states.
This document comes into force upon publication, that is, from March 1, 2024.
Russians claim that these gatherings are supposedly "part of planned annual events" aimed at increasing the combat readiness of reservists. Typically, those who have received military ranks during their conscription or training at universities participate in them. The training usually lasts for 2 months.
According to the decree, reservists will undergo training in:
- the armed forces;
- the national guard;
- the rescue military formations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations;
- state security agencies;
- the Federal Security Service.
