Kremlin Security Policy Changes

Russian military reservists will now have to guard oil refineries against Ukrainian drone strikes after the Russian leader signed a law on the start of the week extending their entanglement in the conflict. The head of state also signed a law allowing military conscription throughout the year whereas previously it was possible only during restricted intervals in autumn and spring. The federation restricts conscripts from being assigned to fighting, but after their defense commitment they join the reserve forces, exposing them to potential of being sent to war.

Italy called in the Russian diplomat on the start of the week to object to what it said were offensive, concerning and improper statements by Russian diplomatic representative who linked the deadly collapse of a structure in Italy to the nation's defense assistance for the eastern European nation.

The Moscow's representation later expressed sympathy for the passing of a Romanian worker in the accident but took the opportunity to protest that the critical reaction to the comments was biased against Russia.
