The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the troops conscripted through the regular draft will not be deployed to the Ukrainian battlefield.

Russia maintains both a contract-based recruitment system for non-commissioned officers and a conscription system simultaneously. Conscription occurs twice a year, in spring and autumn, and males aged 18 to 27 who are subject to conscription must serve one year of mandatory military service.

Previously, in September last year, Russia issued a partial mobilization order targeting reservists, mobilizing an additional 300,000 troops to be deployed to the Ukrainian battlefield.
