Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the conscription of 160,000 into military service.

The decree, which was reported by news agency Interfax and also published on the government website for legal announcements, says conscription applies to all citizens aged between 18 and 30 and covers the period from April to July.

My understanding is it's "normal" conscription, but 10k more than last year.

I believe Russian officers have been "pressuring" conscipts to sign full military enlistments before their conscription year is up and that's part of how they have been keeping up with their losses, without sending "conscripts" to war.
