Russian Military Legal Adjustments

Russian military reservists will now have to protect fuel facilities against aerial attacks after the Russian leader signed a law on the weekday increasing their involvement in the conflict. The head of state also approved legislation permitting draft enrollment throughout the year whereas previously it was possible only during specific times in autumn and spring.

The federation's diplomatic mission later expressed sympathy for the death of a Romanian worker in the incident but used the chance to complain that the critical reaction to the remarks was prejudiced toward the federation.
