| Russia army continues to move its army units to Ukraine |
International Military - Since the invasion, it is known that both Russia and Ukraine have lost a lot of weapons and soldiers. This is based on reports from both countries after three months of conflict.
Previously, it was mentioned that Russia was trying to update a law. What is known is that the law contains the military age limit for civilians and foreigners.
In this regard, Moscow officials are also negotiating to accept and recruit civilians to join the military even if they are over 40 years of age. This is done on the grounds that the age of 40 years and over, already has more experience in the military field.
Reporting from Aljazeera.com, it is reported that currently the law regarding the age limit has been abolished. So that there is no longer an age limit that will be suspended for civilians who will join the military.
This would also certainly be a sign that Moscow may also want to recruit more troops. Which with this will certainly increase their troops in the military efforts carried out in Ukraine.
Previously, the law was known that civilians who were allowed to join the military were only 40 years old and under. Meanwhile, foreigners are allowed to enlist in the military at the age of 18 to 30 years.
Parliament Speaker Viacheslav Volodin has revealed this in a statement. Volodin said that Russia needed to strengthen the Armed Forces to help the defense ministry. "Your commander in chief is doing everything to ensure that the army is victorious and increase its effectiveness," said Volodin.
In addition, the head of the parliament's defense committee, Andrey Kartapolov, has also stated the reasons for the amendment to the law. According to him, this will be able to attract "highly professional specialists" in using high-precision weapons. In this case, it is also known that experience has shown a person's level of expertise, which is seen at the age of 40 to 45 years. So according to Kartapolov, this recruitment could allow for medical support as well as maintenance.
Quoted by US News, Russian troops have suffered significant losses in their fighting in Ukraine. According to a Ministry of Defense report, as of March 25, 1,351 Russian service personnel have died. Meanwhile, 3,825 soldiers were injured. This is calculated since the beginning of the invasion in February.
However, it is known that Moscow has described the invasion as a special military operation and has vowed to continue fighting until their goal is achieved.
