  "In order to have a reserve, we need to have a permanent conscription system," he said at a conference on army reserve at the parliament on Friday.
  
  Kubilius, Lithuania former prime minister, of the conservative Homeland Union, emphasized the need to avoid short-term strategies. In his words, the current scheme to reintroduce the mandatory military service for five years will not solve the reserve problem.
  
  "There is no chance of improvement over five years. (Russian President Vladimir) Putin will stay on for another 20 years," said the MP.
  
  "Now, in five years and in 30 years conscripts will help us solve the problem of mobilization reserve. We cannot do this without conscripts," Kubilius stressed.

If they think Putin is bad, just wait for the one that comes after him. He'll be WAY worse than Putin. Every president of Russia is worse than the one before him. Yeltsin, Putin, the next one.

  National Defence Minister Juozas Olekas said they contained names of 36,825 men aged 19-26, and there are plans to conscript 3,000 men this year, including over 1,000 of volunteers who have already signed up.
  
  According to the minister, the lists are accessible to the public and everyone can see the names of conscripts, their date of birth and the territory in which they reside.
  
  "We plan to conscript 3,000 young men, including volunteers, and as I said, there are over 1,000 of the latter. We need to send out conscription notices to around 37,000 young men," Olekas told journalists on Monday, adding that volunteers can continue registering at the army's staffing units.
  
  The minister also stressed that information about persons who have received conscription notices but failed to report to staffing units would be handed over to the Police Department and these young men "will face criminal and administrative liability".
  
  1,124 Lithuanian citizens have voluntarily signed up for military service since March when the country decided to restore conscription.
  
  The first conscripts are scheduled to start military service on 24 August.
