Moscow's Defense Strategic Shifts

Russian military reservists will now have to guard oil refineries against unmanned assaults after the Russian leader enacted a decree on the weekday increasing their involvement in the war effort. The Russian ruler also approved legislation permitting draft enrollment throughout the year whereas previously it was possible only during restricted intervals in autumn and spring.

The Russian embassy in Rome later offered regrets for the passing of a construction employee in the accident but seized the moment to complain that the negative feedback to the comments was anti-Russian.
