Russian leader Vladimir Putin has signed a decree for the 2025 autumn military draft, running from October 1 to December 31, according to a decree posted on the official Russian government legal portal on September 29.

The call-up will target 135,000 Russian citizens aged 18 to 30.

Vice Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky, deputy head of Russia’s Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate, said draftees will serve only within Russia and will not participate in Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Previously, it was reported Russia is considering a major overhaul of its conscription system that would allow for continuous draft procedures year-round, as the country grapples with unprecedented military losses in Ukraine, according to the proposed legislative changes, introduced by the head of the Russian Parliament’s Defense Committee.

    The cost of allowing Vladimir Putin to live, is getting thrown in the meat grinder.

    The meat grinding will not stop until Putin dies.

        Many Russans seem to think that is their destiny, so they have few issues with it.

        Then they should hurry up and volunteer, so that Putin doesn’t need to announce recruiting drives.

        Sign up, ship out, blow up.

      The people waiting to take over from Putin are not going to make matters any better.

        Best relieve them of the burden of leadership then.

        That’s assuming there isn’t a populist revolution. It’s not like Russia is immune to revolutions or anything…

        Yeah, the oligarchs are planning to take over, but that’s also why they keep dying. Who’s going to be left in the end? Is there actually going to be an oligarch capable of taking over? Anyone capable of it will be a target.

            Prigozhin was about to march into Moscow and take over before they talked him out of it and then killed him.

            When Russian citizens finally have had enough of the bullshit, they will take heads. Any of the regime that is too stupid to scatter at that point will simply be swept away.

            All of this can be initiated at any time.

              No, the russians ain’t got a single working nuke. They stole the budget for that. Now all they have is posturing and pretending.

        Need to do it the old fashioned Russian way. Get the military heads behind you, overthrow the despot, put him and all his cronies up against the wall, and then the next “strong leader” takes power.
