In Russia, discussions have begun about implementing universal conscription.
"I believe we need to return to a truly universal conscription," said Valery Fadeyev, head of the Human Rights Council. "I am not advocating for mobilization or sending young people to the front lines; that is not the intention. Instead, I think every young person should serve in the military, as we are in a state of prolonged conflict. If they are not fit for combat, they can still contribute in non-combat roles, such as serving in the kitchen."
