Dmitry Medvedev: There is no need for a new mobilization in Russia
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev stated that at the moment, there is no need for a new wave of mobilization in the country. According to him, the Russian authorities are relying on attracting volunteers who sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense.
According to official data, the recruitment of contract soldiers is proceeding quite actively. Dmitry Medvedev emphasized that the pace of volunteer recruitment allows for the successful resolution of current tasks facing the armed forces. In this regard, the state is managing to avoid compulsory measures for drafting citizens into military service.
In his speech, the politician also noted that the Russian economy and industry have adapted to operating under the new conditions. Defense industry enterprises have increased production volumes, which provides the army with all necessary equipment and machinery without the need to draw on additional human resources through mobilization mechanisms.
It is worth recalling that the issue of potential mobilization is regularly discussed in Russian society. Previously, government representatives have repeatedly emphasized that the current strategy for staffing the army is based exclusively on the voluntary participation of citizens ready to serve under contract.
Thus, the position of the country's leadership remains unchanged: priority is given to a professional army and volunteers. In the near future, the government plans to continue the current policy aimed at supporting military personnel and ensuring the stable operation of the defense sector.
