European countries are increasingly moving to restore conscription as a result
of their rising concern over Russia's military activities in the region.
Most recently, Lithuania unveiled plans to reinstate
conscription this year in response to Moscow's intervention in Ukraine. The
Lithuanian Parliament passed a bill March 19, following a legislative proposal
put forward by the country's government, by a majority of 112 out of 141
ministers. The measure will be effective for at least five years, the
Lithuanian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
