  "summary": "Russian airports have begun checking military registration statuses of new citizens, with some men reportedly receiving conscription notices upon arrival, according to Ukrainian activists and a Russian organization providing legal assistance. The Russian Interior Ministry has confirmed the establishment of 17 migration control points at airports across the country. This development echoes similar events in 2022 where a mobile military enlistment office was set up at a border checkpoint. Ukraine's intelligence suggests Russia could recruit up to 600,000 additional military personnel in stages over the next two years, relying more on covert recruitment methods and financial incentives.",
