Kremlin Military Policy Changes
National guard personnel will now have to guard oil refineries against Ukrainian drone strikes after the president signed a law on Tuesday extending their entanglement in the war effort. The head of state also signed a law permitting draft enrollment continuously whereas previously it was possible only during restricted intervals in fall and spring. The federation restricts draftees from being sent to battle, but after their defense commitment they become part of the backup units, putting them at risk of being deployed to conflict.
Substantial defense expenditures have also started to stress the federal treasury, with the government increasing levies to cover increasing gaps.
