Evasion of military service during mobilization in the country is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years.Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. President Vladimir Putin has said that the operation aims to "protect people subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years."
