Criteria

YES if by 30 Jun 2027 a Russian federal law, presidential decree or government decree enters into force that restricts departure abroad for men in the military reserve as a category (for example all reservists of certain ages or ranks), without an individual summons or call-up order having been served. Restrictions that apply only to men already served a summons, to conscripts, or to specific professions with state secrets do not count. Source: pravo.gov.ru text plus two major outlets. Otherwise NO.
