The innovations regarding electronic summonses apply only to conscription military service, and not to military training. According to RBC, this was stated by State Duma deputy and first deputy head of its defense committee Andrei Krasov.
When asked if an electronic summons for military training could come, the deputy replied that it was about military service by conscription, the fees “are not the subject of this federal law.”
Military training is carried out to prepare citizens in the reserve for military service. They are training and testing (check combat and mobilization readiness). The duration of the fees is no more than two months.
Earlier, Andrei Kartapolov, head of the relevant Duma committee, said that the new norms would apply to all those liable for military service, and not just those who would be called up for military service. He emphasized that there is “no new wave of mobilization in Russia and is not planned.”
The bill, concerning “notification of citizens about the appearance at events related to conscription for military service,” the Duma adopted in three readings on April 11 – a day after the amendments were made.
