European Countries Considering Mandatory Military Service

European nations are re-evaluating the reintroduction of mandatory military service to bolster their defense capabilities against potential Russian aggression.


European Countries Considering Mandatory Military Service

For many years, military service in Europe was voluntary, but recently governments have started to reconsider the possibility of returning mandatory military service. This decision is made with the aim of strengthening self-defense and preparing for a possible attack from Russia.

One of the members of the European Union stated: "We must be ready for any development of events and have sufficient forces to protect our borders." He noted that strengthening military power is a necessary step to ensure the security of the region.

Currently, discussions are underway about the possibility of reinstating conscription for young people. This has sparked diverse opinions among society. Some believe that mandatory military service contributes to strengthening the army and national security, while others worry about potential threats to personal freedom and negative consequences.

However, the decision on this issue is not final yet. For now, all countries continue to support the idea of reinstating conscription for military service. It is expected that this topic will be actively discussed in the near future before a final decision is made on this issue.
