Currently, it's estimated that <5% of Russia's military is female, down from a high of around 10%. However, men between 18 and 27 already face general conscription. With an evident shortfall in military manpower (see: reliance on mercenaries, expansion of recruitment to foreigners and convicts, etc.), will Russia's invasion of Ukraine cause enough instability that requires including women into a draft or the routine conscription?

History and Current Status of Women in the Russian Military

Resolves YES if Russia institutes any compulsory military service as a rule on any population of female citizens before the end of the war in Ukraine.

Otherwise NO when the war ends.

If the war extends beyond Ukraine and is no longer considered the Ukraine-Russia war, but the continuity is clear, it still counts.

The close date on this market may be extended as needed.

Could you clarify what you consider „war ends“? Something like „cease fire hold for x weeks“ maybe?

@MaxPayne No, I'd need a formal end to the war. Treaty, declaration and withdrawal, dissolution of Russia, annexation of Ukraine without other nations still in the fight against Russia, or such. This could theoretically go on a long time if a DMZ-type situation occurs, but I don't expect it will.
