The Russian authorities are discussing the return of a two -year army. The question of this may be submitted to the State Duma. This was stated by a deputy from Crimea Mikhail Sheremet, Russian media write.
“It is very difficult and problematic to train and prepare during the year. But two years are quite the best option. This is a timely and necessary measure that needs to be introduced as soon as possible to increase the combat readiness of our army,” he said to reporters.
On the issue of a two -year service life, consultations will be held, and the idea will be supported, said the head of the defense committee of the Council of Council, Viktor Bondarev.
Now draftees have been serving in the army for one year. The two -year service format in Russia was abandoned in 2008.
