Moscow's Security Policy Changes

Defense force members will now have to protect fuel facilities against Ukrainian drone strikes after the president enacted a decree on the weekday expanding their participation in the military campaign. The national leader also approved legislation permitting draft enrollment throughout the year whereas before it happened only during specific times in cooler seasons.
