Lithuania will introduce universal conscription for men in the army starting in 2032. The general conscription will affect young people aged 18-22. Girls, like now, will be able to do voluntary military service. Now in Lithuania, about five thousand young men are recruited into the army every year. According to President Gitanas Nausėda, with general conscription, taking into account the demographic situation and the number of conscripts suitable for the service, about 7,500 young people will be conscripted every year.
