“Test” electronic military summonses were sent out in St. Petersburg, reports outlet Fontanka, citing Sergey Kachkovsky, the city’s chief enlistment officer.
According to Kachkovsky, the summonses are part of a “test” distribution. They are sent through personal accounts on the “State Services (Gosuslugi)” portal. Distributing them by SMS is also being considered.
On April 14, Vladimir Putin signed a law that allows the Russian military to issue draft summonses electronically, closes the country’s borders to draftees who don’t report for service, and deprives “draft evaders” of numerous rights.
