This change is part of a broader trend since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, where the duration of military exercises has extended significantly. The maximum age for conscription has been raised, and fines for non-participation increased to 30,000 rubles. Discussions among Russians suggest concern over possible new mobilization and the implications of prolonged military activity.
