MADRID, April 15. (EUROPEAN PRESS) –
The British secret service has warned that Russian authorities are preparing the ground to guarantee their Army’s long-term recruitment and to be able to detect and punish those who avoid conscription for now.
London points out that on April 11 the Russian Parliament approved a law unifying the registration of individuals of military age. “The main consequence is that in the future the authorities will be able to send calls to ranks electronically instead of on paper, thereby removing the barrier that this represents and which has allowed some people to avoid those calls until now,” explained Intelligence. British in a statement.
In addition, this census of people of military age will now be digitally linked to other services provided online, so “it is likely that authorities will sanction those who do not comply with recruitment by restricting their labor rights or restricting their travel abroad.”
The measures included in the law are due to take effect this year and “do not in particular represent a new wave of forced mobilisations,” according to the UK.
“Russia is prioritizing voluntary recruitment for now. However, the move is most likely part of a longer-term approach to ensure there are recruits in the face of Russia’s prospects of a protracted conflict in Ukraine,” argued London.
