Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to enroll 150,000 conscripts into the military, increasing the active military personnel pool.
Compulsory military service is a sensitive issue in Russia, with uncertainty over deployment to Ukraine and concerns about conscription avoidance.
Last year, Russia extended the maximum conscription age, now calling up men up to 30 years old into service.
UK estimated 355,000 Russian personnel casualties since the Ukraine invasion, while 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in action post-invasion.
