• The cabinet endorsed the United Russia bill on the condition of revisions set out in its official review.
• After naturalization, the draft requires appearance at a military commissariat within two weeks or an online application within one week, with noncompliance triggering a formal evasion finding.
• Military offices would send evasion findings to the territorial Interior Ministry within five working days, with a 30‑day window for the person to appear that cancels the finding.
• The proposal allows termination of citizenship for relatives, including children, with exceptions such as when another parent remains a Russian citizen or the child is in a children’s home.
