The Russian Ministry of Defense proposed to establish a single age limit for service during mobilization for all contract soldiers: 70 years for senior officers and 65 years for others, the draft federal law says .

«… the military rank of a senior officer up to colonel general, admiral inclusive — 70 years; those with a different military rank — 65 years,» is indicated in the material posted on the website of draft regulatory legal acts.

As reported by the country's defense department, the current law sets the age limit at the time of mobilization only for those who signed a contract after June 24, 2023 (with the entry into force of the relevant law). At the same time, the document does not specify the upper age limit for soldiers who entered service before this date.

The bill will eliminate this uncertainty.
