Citizens who permanently reside in the Donetsk People's Republic in the spring of 2023 will not be sent to the troops for service. Acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, signed a decree on the creation of a draft commission in the republic and local administrations.

A hotline for those wishing to go to military service under a contract was launched in Moscow, and a single selection point for military service was opened, where both Muscovites and residents of other regions of Russia or foreigners can apply.
