Russian MPs voted on Tuesday, April 11, a bill allowing mobilization orders to be sent electronically. This measure will potentially facilitate enlistment in the army in the context of an offensive in Ukraine.
"The changes provide for a digitization of the military registry system," the Duma said in a statement. Until then, mobilization orders were compulsorily delivered by hand to the mobilized, many of whom chose to ignore these summonses, to move or flee the country. The Kremlin "absolutely does not expect" that this new bill will lead to a new wave of departures abroad.
