However, the increase in the minimum age requirement would go into effect immediately and would increase slightly through 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Young men in Russia often avoid military conscription to pursue higher education. However, raising the age requirement means that men will likely serve at some point. While men are not supposed to fight in Ukraine, British intelligence believes that hundreds are fighting anyway due to &#8220;mismanagement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another way Russia can send troops to fight in the war is by sending them to the four territories, such as Crimea, that have been annexed from Ukraine. Russia views the annexed lands as part of its own.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\">\n                                    <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><source width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/source>\n                                    <\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">FILE &#8211; Russian President Vladimir Putin, second right, gestures as he visits with Deputy Commander of the Airborne Troops Anatoly Kontsevoy, right, a military training center of the Western Military District for mobilized reservists in Ryazan Region, Russia, on Oct. 20, 2022.

The move was the first time that a large call-up had been issued in Russia since World War II. The partial mobilization supplied as many as 300,000 reservists. The call-up resorted in numerous protests throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>Putin also approved a bill in December that would increase the Russian military from 1.15 million soldiers to 1.5 million. Russia has continued calling forward forces twice a year since the days of the Soviet Union, but the partial mobilization did not count towards the twice yearly call-up, according to British intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Russia entered its second year of war with Ukraine in February and has been charged with war crimes related to deporting children from Ukraine. The International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands, issued an arrest warrant for Putin on Friday. Although Putin has not commented on the charges, a spokesman for the Kremlin claimed the charges were &#8220;outrageous and unacceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Read More From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense-national-security\/british-intelligence-russia-wider-conscription-warning\">British intelligence warns Russia likely preparing for wider military conscription<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian forces are likely preparing for a larger military conscription amid its war in Ukraine, after Russia&#8217;s parliament introduced a bill that raises the age of service from 18-27, to 21-30, intelligence from the United Kingdom claimed.
