Kremlin Military Policy Changes

Russian military reservists will now have to protect fuel facilities against unmanned assaults after the Russian leader approved legislation on Tuesday increasing their involvement in the war effort. The Russian ruler also signed a law permitting draft enrollment all year round whereas earlier it occurred only during specific times in fall and spring.
