Another 160,000 soldiers for Vladimir Putin. The Russian president has signed a decree for the spring draft with which Moscow plans to recruit 160,000 men between the ages of 18 and 30. The conscription, starting today until July 15, is the largest in the last 14 years and represents a clear signal for a country engaged for 3 years in the war against Ukraine.
Conscripts are not normally sent to the front to fight. In reality, in relation to the ongoing conflict, the presence of conscripts at the front has been reported several times. In particular, conscripts would have been deployed in Kursk, the region invaded by the Ukrainian armed forces since August 2024.
