According to a UK Intelligence report from April 10, 2024, Russia launched its spring conscription cycle on April 1, 2024, aiming to enlist approximately 150,000 soldiers aged between 18 and 30, consistent with the numbers from previous years. These conscripts are required to serve for 12 months across all branches of the Russian military, though they are not currently deployed in combat roles in Ukraine. Instead, they are stationed at garrisons throughout Russia and typically form battalions separate from those comprised of contract service soldiers. Some of these conscripts are likely positioned near the Ukrainian border in units tasked with providing border security. However, the forces actively engaged in Ukraine are primarily made up of contract soldiers and some reservists who were mobilized at the end of 2022.
