The adoption of such a law was conditioned by the need for “immediate taking additional measures to increase the number of personnel of the Armed Forces”, it is said in the explanatory note of the document.
According to the chairman of the Committee on Defense of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Andriy Kartapolov, the amendments concern primarily people with Russia -occupied territories of Ukraine.
He also noted that “many inhabitants of European states who move to Russia use a measure of deprivation of citizenship,” and stressed that the bill is not related to the lack of contractors.
“This is another source of the army. We also close the gap in the legislation, because everyone must have the right to join the armed forces of the Russian Federation, ” – said Karpolov in the Russian Parliamentary Newspaper.
According to him, the Ministry of Defense will be able to involve from four to five thousand people in military service. In exchange for such a contract, stateless people will be able to obtain a Russian passport.
According to the FSB Border Guard Service, almost 90,000 stateless people in Russia last year, not counting tourists and transit passengers, entered Russia last year.
