Russia’s lower house of parliament voted to raise the maximum conscription age to 30 years from 27.
The new legislation, which comes into effect on January 1, means men will be required to carry out a year of military service, or equivalent training during higher education, between the ages of 18 and 30 rather than 18 and 27 as is the case now.

The law also bans men from leaving Russia from the day they are summoned to a conscription office.
Last year, Russia announced a plan to boost its professional and conscripted combat personnel by more than 30 percent to 1.5 million, a task made harder by its undisclosed casualties in Ukraine.
