Kremlin Military Strategic Shifts

Russian military reservists will now have to guard oil refineries against Ukrainian drone strikes after the Russian leader approved legislation on the weekday expanding their participation in the conflict. The head of state also approved legislation allowing military conscription all year round whereas previously it was possible only during restricted intervals in autumn and spring. Russian law prohibits conscripts from being assigned to fighting, but after their defense commitment they join the reserve forces, placing them in danger of being sent to war.

Heavy military spending have also started to strain the Russian state budget, with Moscow raising taxes to cover increasing gaps.

The nation's top diplomat stated that the country would not change its foreign policy stance or its values in response to irresponsible comments. The Moscow's representation later posted condolences for the demise of a Romanian worker in the incident but took the opportunity to object that the negative feedback to the comments was prejudiced toward the federation.
