Moscow's Military Policy Changes

Russian military reservists will now have to guard oil refineries against Ukrainian drone strikes after Vladimir Putin approved legislation on Tuesday increasing their involvement in the military campaign. The Russian ruler also signed a law permitting draft enrollment throughout the year whereas before it happened only during restricted intervals in fall and spring. Moscow legally bars draftees from being assigned to fighting, but after their defense commitment they enter Russia's reserves, putting them at risk of being sent to war.

Heavy military spending have also started to pressure the national finances, with authorities hiking rates to cover increasing gaps.
