Currently, only Russians aged 18-40 and foreigners aged 18-30 can enter into a first contract with the military.in the 86-day-old war, in which Ukraine has mobilised practically its entire adult male population. Despite taking full control of the ruins of Mariupol, Moscow remains far from its objective of seizing all of the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

Jack Watling, a land warfare specialist at the British security and defence think tank RUSI, said the Russian military was running short of infantry. “This will be a slow and complicated process, but can be accelerated by mobilising people with existing skills and military experience.”
