This group includes men over 50 years old who can still be called up for service. However, the terms of service for individuals aged 50 and older are generally adjusted to take their age into consideration.
Military lawyer and PhD candidate Yevgeny Filipets clarified this in an interview. He addressed the misconceptions that men over 50 are exempt from mobilization, emphasizing that such claims are false.
Filipets stated that the public has misinterpreted information regarding directives on the mobilization of individuals in this age group.
The lawyer stressed that the mobilization of men aged 50 to 60 has not been halted. Instead, the difference lies in the nature of their assignments. Filipets explained that age and health are significant factors in determining the roles and placements of older conscripts.
Typically, individuals in this category are assigned to rear positions, where their duties align with their physical capabilities and experience.
