Russia increased its military call-up age for men who completed compulsory service by five years.
It also increased the age limit for its mobilized reserves, with some 70-year-olds able to be called up.
It also introduced a higher age limit for those in Russia's mobilized reserve.
These are men who signed up to receive occasional military training and a stipend when their military service ends, according to Reuters.
Some reservists called up to fight in September's mobilization were trained, sent to Ukraine, and killed in the span of just a month.
