The State Duma approved year-round conscription in the first reading.

      Members of the State Duma adopted at first reading amendments to the laws "On Military Duty and Military Service" and "On Alternative Civilian Service" that change the timing of activities related to conscription for military service.

      According to the bill, the conscription of citizens for military service will be carried out pursuant to a decree of the President of the Russian Federation throughout the entire calendar year — from January 1 to December 31. Currently conscription is limited to two periods: from April 1 to July 15 and from October 1 to December 31.

      At the same time, the procedure for sending recruits to their places of service remains the same — twice a year, in spring and autumn. Specific dispatch dates are established for certain categories of citizens.

      The amendments are expected to come into force on January 1, 2026.
