Meduza · Russia (independent, Latvia-based exile media) · Russia to double military training class time in schools to 50% from September

Reports the decree raising basic military training to 50% of instruction time starting September 1, describing it as a doubling of the current share; notes the change applies to all state schools and will cover marksmanship, drill, civil defence, and weapons familiarisation, and frames it as part of a systematic mobilisation of Russian civilian society for a multi-year war.
