Russia is mostly sending contract soldiers in any case so he most likely wouldn't have been sent (even if he had served at the "right" time) unless he decided to take the contract after the mandatory service. Some conscripts were sent in the early phases of the war as well and Putin claims to not have been informed about it at the time.

@Rig0r_M0rtis I wanted to mention it for the sake of completeness. It's possible that Putin knew that some conscripts were going to be used alongside contract soldiers and he just decided to throw some of his underlings under the bus by blaming them. In any case, the Russian forces sent to Ukraine are primarily contract soldiers.

@Nedula007 To my knowledge, it's mostly contract soldiers. Note, I'm only talking about Russian forces here. The forces of the separatist "peoples' republics" of Donetsk and Luhansk are conscripts.

@MrTubby69 At least some conscripts were sent initially (even though it's illegal).

@AT-9777 No, it was clear from the start that most were contract soldiers (except the LPR/DPR forces). Of course, now after the partial mobilization order they are sending conscripts too in large numbers (other than the former LPR/DPR forces).

@AT-9777 "Before the start of war conscripts were literally moved to the border to "training"." Those were (mostly) contract soldiers, not conscripts.
