Putin signed a law on the abolition of the age limit for the first military contract

The law signed on May 28 by the President of the Russian Federation excludes the age limit for citizens of working age, at which they are granted the right to conclude the first contract for military service. Thus, now people over 40 years old will be able to sign it. The authors of the initiative noted that highly professional specialists are needed for the use of high-precision weapons.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a federal law on the abolition of the upper age limit for the conclusion of the first contract for military service. The document was posted on Saturday, May 28, on the official portal of legal information.

The law came into force from the date of its publication, that is, it has already begun to operate on the territory of Russia.

What changes the law...

According to the legislation in force earlier, citizens aged from 18 to 40 years (for foreigners - from 18 to 30 years) were entitled to conclude the first contract for military service.

The law signed by Putin excludes the age limit for both Russians of working age (up to 65 years for men, or up to 60 years for women) and for foreign citizens, at which they are granted the right to conclude their first contract for military service.

The document notes that the abolition of the age limit will contribute to "attracting specialists of sought-after specialties, primarily related to civilians (medical support, engineering, maintenance, operation, communications) to military service under a contract."

...and why is it needed

The law was prepared by deputies from United Russia - the head of the Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov and his first deputy Andrey Krasov.

The explanatory note stated that highly professional specialists are needed for the use of high-precision weapons, the operation of weapons and military equipment.

At the same time, practice has shown that they get the appropriate experience by the age of 40-45, the authors of the initiative emphasized.

The State Duma adopted this law last Wednesday, May 25, in the first reading and immediately as a whole. On the same day, the Federation Council approved it.

As specified by the deputy head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Nikolay Pankov, Russians and foreigners will be given the opportunity to conclude the first contracts for military service before they reach 50 years.
