Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree for spring conscription, with 150,000 people expected to be mobilized, reported TASS.

According to the new rules, which entered into force on January 1, citizens of the Russian Federation between the ages of 18 and 30 will be subject to military service (with the exception of those who turned 27 before the end of 2023 and those who are 28 or 29 years old or in stock).

“From April 1 to July 15, 2024, to carry out conscription of citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 to 30 who are not in the reserve and are subject to conscription, in the amount of 150,000 people” , the decree states.

The decree also orders the release from military service of soldiers, sailors, sergeants and senior officers whose term of conscription has expired. The Government of the Russian Federation, regional authorities and conscription commissions are charged with ensuring the implementation of all necessary activities within the framework of the conscription service.

Colonel-General Yevgeny Burdinsky, head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, announced earlier that the term of conscription remains unchanged at one year. The “special operation” (the war in Ukraine) will not involve servicemen called up for service during the spring campaign, Burdynski also emphasized.

For the new conscription age

As of January 1, the law raising the enlistment age to 30 came into force.

As the Chairman of the Defense Committee of the State Duma, Andrey Kartapolov, previously explained, “those citizens who (turned) 27 years old in 2023, even on December 31 at 11:59 p.m., these citizens become mandatory for military reserve and are not subject to military service in 2024. Those who are now 28, 29 (years old), they are already a reserve,” added Kartapolov.

Also, a deferment from conscription is granted to citizens working in accredited IT companies until reaching the age of 30. The idea of ​​changing the conscription age limits was proposed at the end of 2022 by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

“Potemkin’s self-styled army is helping Kiev protect its dwindling resources as leaders plead for more Western aid,” wrote the British The Telegraph.

Ukraine creates fake weapons from improvised materials to give Russia fake targets on the front. According to The Telegraph, demand for such front-line weapons has increased sharply recently as Ukrainian troops face increased Russian strikes and reduced supplies.

Ukrainian volunteers are building life-size models of rocket launchers and artillery weapons from scrap metal and drain pipes to trick Russia into expending munitions on fake targets.

Only one of the groups in the last year has built more than 200 models of Stugna anti-tank guided missile launchers and two D-20 howitzer artillery guns, which are deployed at the front. The construction of the first simulated rocket launcher took two months, and its price is about 3000-4000 hryvnias (150-200 BGN). But since then, the “production process” has been accelerated to a few days, and the price has been reduced to 1000 hryvnias (50 leva).

An “order” was also received for the development of more complex models, in particular the model of the Patriot missile complex. Its production will cost about 10,000 dollars (18,339 BGN). The Ukrainians also created fake Starlink systems, which the Russians also attacked. The fake terminals are placed next to the real ones to confuse Russian intelligence.

At the same time, soldiers in Ukraine’s armed forces have indicated that fake weapons are unlikely to be a solution to the problem of delays in Western aid.

“The main idea of ​​these models is to tire out the enemy and see his position. We need real weapons because we can only win the war with real weapons.”

The President of Russia Vladimir Putin commented on the breakthrough of fighters from the “Freedom for Russia” legions, the “Russian Volunteer Corps” (RDK) and the “Siberian Battalion” in the Belgorod and Kursk regions, reports RIA Novosti.

Vladimir Putin believes that their attack is an attempt to fail the elections and “get a trump card” for the exchange of territories in possible negotiations.

“The main goal of Ukraine, which regularly tries to attack Russian regions, is to try to prevent the normal conduct of the elections.”

“Nevertheless, the main goal, I have no doubt about it, is if not to prevent the presidential elections in Russia, then at least in some way to prevent the normal process of expressing the will of the citizens,” he noted.

“The explanation is very simple. All this is happening against the background of failures on the contact line, on the front line. They did not achieve any of the goals they set for themselves last year,” Putin believes.

Putin also claimed that there were foreign mercenaries among the volunteers. “Here, on the state border line, the enemy tried to attack primarily with sabotage groups, this is the latest report of the General Staff, about 300 people, including foreign mercenaries,” he said.

A day earlier, fighters from the Legions “Freedom for Russia”, “RDK” and “Siberian Battalion” announced that they had entered the border territory of Russia. The fighters of the volunteer units published an address and a video about the alleged presence of military personnel on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Volunteers from the Russian Legion “Freedom for Russia” announced that they had completely taken control of the village of Tyotkino, Kursk Region, adds Ukrainian truth.

At the same time, Russia’s FSB reported that more than 100 fighters who broke through from Ukraine were killed and dozens of pieces of equipment were destroyed in an attempt to infiltrate Russian territory. At the same time, the Ukrainian volunteer formations published on social networks videos with small arms and destruction of Russian equipment on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The Bundestag plans to modernize all Taurus cruise missiles in Germany’s arsenal.

According to The world there are a total of about 600 such systems, but half of them have expired certificates. According to them, these rockets are subject to major repairs. The German Defense Ministry declined to comment.

Journalists have learned that leading European missile systems developer and manufacturer MBDA, which assembles Taurus missiles in Bavaria, may qualify for the contract.

The company previously denied claims by Social Democratic Party politician Johannes Arlt that the transfer of missiles to Ukraine would threaten Germany’s defense capability. MBDA has announced that it can resume production of the Taurus as soon as possible.

As is known, the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly called on Berlin to make a decision on the transfer of long-range missiles to the Ukrainian armed forces. Britain and France have already taken this step.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs assured that the Ukrainian army will use the Taurus only within its borders. German politicians and diplomats also contacted the German authorities.

However, Chancellor Olaf Scholz refused to transfer the missiles to Ukraine. He explains this by the fact that they can reach objects in Moscow.

Russian troops are “stuck” in the Avdeevka region and are unable to make progress, so they are concentrating their main efforts on Novomykhaylovka. This was emphasized by the spokesman of the Operational-Strategic Group of Forces (OSGV) “Tavria” Dmitry Likhovoi on the air of the telethon, reports RBC-Ukraine.

According to him, the situation in the Avdeev district is relatively stabilized. On Tuesday, Ukrainian soldiers repelled 23 enemy attacks, and on Wednesday – 14, but already in the area of ​​the settlements of Berdichi, Tonenkoe, Pervomaiskoe, Nevelskoe. The actions of the Russian forces near Avdeevka are local.

“Although the front line in some places remains dynamic, in general, in these three villages – Berdichi, Tonenkoe and Orlovka, the enemy is stuck and standing still,” Likhovoi said. But according to Likhovoi, Russian forces are now directing their efforts to the Novopavlov direction (the old Mariinsky ).

“In particular, in the area of ​​the village of Novomihailovka, the enemy is simply pushing on the eastern outskirts, pursuing the goal of moving forward, making great efforts and at the same time tightening them. This is the main direction of the Russians in the Donetsk region after Avdeyevka,” the spokesman specified OSGV “Tavria”.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that since the beginning of the full-scale Russian military intervention in his country two years ago, 31 thousand Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, transmits “Ukrainian Truth”.

“Thirty-one thousand Ukrainian soldiers died in this war. Not 300 thousand, not 150 thousand, as Putin and his deceitful entourage lie. But each of these losses is a big loss for us. 180 thousand Russians died,” he said during big press conference in Kiev.

The total loss of killed and wounded in Russia is 180 thousand dead. I don’t know how many missing they have, but I know up to 500 thousand along with the wounded.

Zelensky declined to name the number of wounded Ukrainian soldiers, as Russia would know how many people “left the battlefield.” He also did not name the number of missing servicemen.

“We also know about tens of thousands of Ukrainians killed in the occupied territories,” Zelensky also noted.
