State Duma Defense Committee proposes to amend the legislation and offer school graduates contractual service in the army. To this must be added Article 34 “On military service and military service”. The document has already appeared on the Russian parliament's website.
The changes should be considered as early as June 28. The initiators of the bill were deputies Vasily Piskarev, Andrei Kartapolov, Ernest Valejev, Anatoly Vyborny and Dmitry Savelyev.
The innovation removes the qualification for contracted service workers. Previously, only people with a secondary vocational education could sign a contract.
Previously, age restrictions were lifted. Now the first contract can be signed by anyone over the age of 18 and eligible to serve.
