Lithuania has decided. Universal conscription will return
By decision of the Lithuanian State Defence Council chaired by President Gitanas Nausėda, universal military conscription will be introduced from 2032. Currently, over 5,000 young men are drafted annually through a random selection process. Following the introduction of universal conscription, this number is estimated to increase to approximately 7,500.
