This was the last conscription in the Russian Federation, in which the upper draft age line was limited to 27 years.

Putin signed a decree on the spring conscription of Russian citizens for military service from April 1 to July 15. The decree states that 150 thousand people will be conscripted for military service.

In the autumn of 2023, the authorities planned to call up 130 thousand conscripts. This was the last draft in which the upper draft age line was limited to 27 years. From January 1, 2024, the conscription age was increased to 30 years. Those who turn 27 years old before the end of 2023 are not subject to the new norm.

As part of the military reform, electronic summonses were also introduced, which are considered received from the moment they are posted in the personal account on State Services. From the date of delivery of such a summons, travel abroad is prohibited.
