The State Duma proposed to increase the period of compulsory military service to two years

Sheremet believes that the period should be increased to two years.

- It is very difficult and problematic to train and prepare during the year. But two years is quite the best option,” Sheremet said, calling a two-year service life a necessary measure that must be introduced immediately to increase the combat readiness of the army.

At the end of October, Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Russian president, said that the Kremlin had not discussed an increase in the term of military service or the possibility of conscripting women.
