Putin Orders Largest Military Draft in 14 Years, Calls Up 160,000 Russians
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree to conscript 160,000 more Russians into the military, marking the largest draft in 14 years. The move, announced in early 2025, aims to bolster the Russian army amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. The decree, which was reported by multiple international news outlets, underscores a significant escalation in military mobilization efforts.
The conscription will take place in the spring, with the new recruits expected to serve in various capacities within the Russian armed forces. This decision comes at a time when Russia continues to navigate complex international relations, particularly with Western nations. Analysts suggest that the increased military readiness could be a strategic move to assert dominance and prepare for potential conflicts.
The international community has responded with concern, with many countries closely monitoring Russia's military activities. The draft has sparked debates about the implications for global security and the potential for heightened tensions in regions where Russia has strategic interests.
