The 2025 autumn draft in Russia, set for October to December, will conscript 135,000 young adults, per a new decree.

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.

      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.

          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.
