A member of the Federation Council from Crimea Olga Kovitidi proposed reducing the list of diseases with which they give a delay from service in the army.
“It is necessary to update the fitness criteria for military service, to exclude diseases in which the conscript is recognized as worthless to the service,” she said. As such diseases, the senator mentioned flat feet and scoliosis of certain degrees.
“A number of diseases can be recognized as not impedeable calls. Now Russia is necessary to increase the reserve of young people suitable for the service,” said Covitidi.
