GAP: President Emmanuel Macron was expected to announce yesterday that France is restoring military service on a voluntary basis in the face of the growing threat posed by Russia and the risk of a new conflict in Europe.
Almost three decades after France scrapped conscription, the head of state was due to outline the change in a speech during a visit to an infantry brigade stationed in the Alps in southeastern France, a presidential official said, requesting anonymity.
The announcement comes more than three and a half years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with Mr Macron and other French officials warning that Moscow may not stop at Ukraine's borders.
