Russian lawmakers on Tuesday backed a law increasing the maximum age limit for compulsory military service in Russia, according to the State Duma lower house of parliament.

“From January 1, 2024, citizens aged 18 to 30 will be called up for military service,” the Duma said after the bill was passed in both a second and third reading. Previously, one year of military service was mandatory in Russia for men aged 18 to 27.
