⚡️🗣 Kremlin Press Secretary Peskov:

◾️Vladimir Putin supports the idea of raising the draft age (from 21 to upper age of 30, instead of current 18 to 27. This will increase armed forces by 30%.)

◾️If necessary, Putin will communicate with the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, but so far there are no meetings scheduled;

◾️In Soledar, the Armed Forces acted selflessly and heroically, but the main work is still ahead for us;

◾️All the goals of the Special Operation remain in force, including the liberation of the Lugansk and Donetsk Republics, to their borders of 2014;

◾️Britain has not turned to Russia for help in finding its subjects in the Operation zone, if there is any request, it will be considered.
