Russian leader Vladimir Putin has signed a decree for the 2025 autumn military draft, running from October 1 to December 31, according to a decree posted on the official Russian government legal portal on September 29.
The call-up will target 135,000 Russian citizens aged 18 to 30.
Vice Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky, deputy head of Russia’s Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate, said draftees will serve only within Russia and will not participate in Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Previously, it was reported Russia is considering a major overhaul of its conscription system that would allow for continuous draft procedures year-round, as the country grapples with unprecedented military losses in Ukraine, according to the proposed legislative changes, introduced by the head of the Russian Parliament’s Defense Committee.
The cost of allowing Vladimir Putin to live, is getting thrown in the meat grinder.
The meat grinding will not stop until Putin dies.
Yeah, but it’s always other people getting thrown it, it would never be me!
The people waiting to take over from Putin are not going to make matters any better.

Best relieve them of the burden of leadership then.
Can’t happen soon enough. It feels good knowing that most of us here on Lemmy will outlive this monster and get to dance on his grave!
As a Ukrainian, it’s hard to be certain, unfortunately
Dpubt it will stop after, there are enough in his party to continue this and other mad plans. They all need to be removed from the gene pool at the same time
I cannot imagine a scenario where allowing his inner circle to stay in power would be acceptable.
Absolutely but how to remove them all at the same time? last time a purge happened was when putin came to power, suddenly a whole load of officials were arrested for bribery ect, mostly from other political camps.
don’t see anyone unsitting putins party especially with the amount of ballot stuffing
I have an idea but it requires several pairs of simultaneously-activated key switches and will probably end humanity.

Prigozhin was about to march into Moscow and take over before they talked him out of it and then killed him.
When Russian citizens finally have had enough of the bullshit, they will take heads. Any of the regime that is too stupid to scatter at that point will simply be swept away.
All of this can be initiated at any time.
Need to do it the old fashioned Russian way. Get the military heads behind you, overthrow the despot, put him and all his cronies up against the wall, and then the next “strong leader” takes power.
It’s absolutely bonkers, the continued death and destruction, no one winning… All because one old rich white guy won’t admit he was wrong.
And all these suckers go and die for him. In a country of 100 million, not even one of them bothers to put a bullet in Putin, instead of being his cannon fodder.
IIRC private citizens aren’t allowed to own guns in Russia, and Putin controls the oligarchs that control the mob, so he has direct control of all the weapons in the country. In theory.
That’s the part I don’t understand. Those Russian soldiers are being abused in unimaginable ways. And yet they just take it and let themselves be killed.
Russian soldiers come from poor regions: Siberia, the Far East, Kalmykia, etc. To many poor recruits the pay far exceeds anything they could get in civilian life. It’s the same strategy as the US military: go to impoverished states and get those desperate poor schmucks to fight and die for you.
Russia has expanded the draft and seemingly can’t count on volunteers as much as before. So the situation may change in the future.
Putin’s goal has been to reestablish something like the Soviet Union and the territory that covered. Far as he’s concerned, Ukraine is legitimately Russian.
Still don’t under stand why he’s poking the bear with NATO when he’s struggling with his current war. Ukraine has bombed so many refineries that he’s blocked fuel exports. Russia just launched the largest drone and rocket offensive and killed a whopping 4 people.
Ukraine has been fighting the Russian taxation since before the Czars
He seems to do his classic bluff and threatening, assuming NATO will then back off as they have done in the past. It’s not very effective these days.
One rich fuck with absolute power and unbelievable wealth and the largest country on Earth just HAD to have a little bit more land and destroyed the entire global peace to get it. The Mad King for GoT is less of a spectacle than this absolute disaster of a “leader”.
draftees will serve only within Russia and will not participate in Russian invasion of Ukraine.
[ X ] Doubt
He’s telling the truth in his own twisted ways. After all, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are unilaterally annexed by Russia since 2022.
Instead, they will participate in Russian invasion where else?
The “only in Russia” bit is a bait-and-switch, because they declared Crimea, Donetsk, and Lunansk “Russian territory” a year or two back.
Oh wow you need another 135,000 soldiers for the war. What happened to the last 135,000?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST 135,000?!
Last 1 MILLION, that’s how much ruzies lost already (as casualties not deaths). Thats at least 5 times of what US lost during Vietnam war. Insanity and ruzi peasants sitting on their palms all subservient.
What access does the average Russian citizen have to unbiased and truthful reporting?
For those citizens with that knowledge, what actions can they take to organize some semblance of a resistance?
One more mobilization bro, and we can have Estonia.
Seems like a regular yearly draft
That should be good for another 6 months of slaughter give or take
At the current rate?!?..
Maybe 3 months at best
More meat for the grinder to satisfy Dear Leader with a Stalin complex. Sad for all the stupid loss of life and the wreckage it leaves behind.
