The State Duma of Russia in the final third reading adopted a bill that raises the age limit for certain citizens with military ranks by five years. This was reported on the website of the lower house of parliament.
The draft provides for a new limit on the age of stay in the reserve of citizens with the ranks of soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen, warrant officers and midshipmen. The age limit for such persons liable for military service belonging to the first category is increased from 35 to 40 years, for the second category – from 45 to 50 years, for the third – from 50 to 55 years.
The age limit for the stay of the reserve in the mobilization reserve is also increasing: for citizens with military ranks of senior officers, it will be 65 years instead of 60, for those with military ranks of junior officers – 60 years (today 55 years), and for those with other ranks – 55 years ( today is 45 years old). The age limit for senior officers in the mobilization reserve remains at the level of 70 years.
Also, citizens, being in military service or in the reserve, can enter the military service under a contract to participate in operations carried out by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation outside the country.
Changes will be made to the law “On military duty and military service.”
