    Putin signs a decree for Russians with dual citizenship to join the army.

Citizens of the Russian Federation who also have foreign citizenship or a residence permit abroad can be drafted into the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as per the decree Russian President Vladimir Putin ratified on Monday, whereby he amended the regulations on the procedure for military service.

"Citizens who are not in the military service, who have expressed a desire to enter military service under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to replace military positions... who have citizenship of a foreign state or a residence permit or other document confirming the right to permanent residence on the territory of a foreign state, as well as citizens who have citizenship of a foreign state or a residence permit or other document... and foreign citizens who have expressed a desire to enter military service under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to replace military positions must submit applications to the military enlistment office's under the contract," the decree said.

Earlier, the regulation stated that Russian citizens can serve in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation under conscription or under contract, and foreigners - only under contract and only in the ranks of private and sergeant staff.

On these points, nothing changes in the new version of the document either for Russians or for foreigners. At the same time, it is prescribed that citizens of the Russian Federation who have "citizenship (citizenship) of a foreign state or a residence permit or other document confirming the right to permanent residence of a citizen in the territory of a foreign state" can serve in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation upon conscription.
