Russians can now avoid trial if they enlist in the army, Putin decides
Briefly

In mid-September, President Putin announced a significant increase in military personnel, calling for an addition of 180,000 troops amidst ongoing military strain in Ukraine.
The new law amends the Russian criminal code, allowing defendants under investigation to suspend their cases to enlist in the military and potentially avoid prosecution.
As a response to resource depletion from the Ukraine conflict, the Russian government plans to boost military spending, allocating 32.5% of its budget for national defense.
Putin's decree aims to raise Russia's military capacity by increasing the total military personnel to nearly 2.4 million amid the drawn-out conflict in Ukraine.
