More than 231,000 Russians they responded to a recruitment drive from January until today, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia said today Dmitry Medvedev.
Faced with the fears of Russian citizens about a new conscription, the Russian leadership has stated many times that such a step is not necessary because there are many volunteers.
However, many citizens do not trust the Kremlin’s assurances.
Russia last year announced a partial mobilization of around 300,000 reservists after suffering heavy losses in Ukraine. Then, tens of thousands of young Russians fled abroad to avoid fighting.
Medvedev said numerous organizational and salary reforms have been made to make serving in the armed forces more attractive, such as better insurance benefits.
