About a thousand Astrakhan will be sent to military service in the autumn

About a thousand young residents of the Astrakhan region plan to send to military service during the autumn conscription in 2026. Approximately the same number of recruits joined the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces following the results of the spring draft campaign.

According to the acting military commissar of the Astrakhan region Sergey Lazarev, the plan of spring conscription in the region has been fully implemented. The new recruits will serve in military units of the Southern Military District. According to him, conscripts will not be involved in combat operations on the territory of a special military operation.

One of the topics of the meeting was the turnout of citizens subject to appeal. The Unified register of military registration is used to work with conscripts. In respect of citizens who are not on the agenda, decisions are formed on the application of temporary restrictive measures.

The authorities instructed to ensure maximum notification of citizens subject to conscription and to strengthen search measures against those who evade military registration and conscription.

The head of the profile department of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs Natalia Alymova said that police officers together with military enlistment offices regularly conduct raids. According to her, for the first half of the year managed to find more than 160 evaders. Criminal proceedings have been initiated against a number of malicious violators.

Following the meeting, the heads of municipalities were instructed to personally monitor the work of draft commissions and exclude cases of illegal granting of deferments. The regional Ministry of Health has been tasked with ensuring uninterrupted and high-quality medical examinations by conscripts.
