The Russians are increasingly faced with the war and the laws of the State Duma will strengthen it - Britain's intelligence
According to analysts, the Russian authorities have begun to pay more attention to making amendments to the legislation, which allow more men to be called into the army as fast as possible. In addition, since mid -July, the maximum age of conscription was increased from 27 to 30 years, retaining the current lower limit at 18 years.
"Although conscripts are not stationed in Ukraine at this time, additional recruits are released by professional and mobilized soldiers from other responsibilities within Russia," the statement said. On July 24, Vladimir Putin also signed a law that provides for the maximum permissible age of conscripts in the reserve. Senior officers can now take up to 70 years old. Analysts believe that all the above laws will have to ensure faster replenishment of troops in the war in Ukraine.
"Increasing the chances of being forced to fight, the attacks of drones on Moscow, the exceptional level of internal repression and the recent rebellion of Wagner aggregately emphasize the inability of the Russian state to protect the population from war," - summed up in the UK Ministry of Defense.
