Kremlin Military Policy Changes

Russian military reservists will now have to protect fuel facilities against Ukrainian drone strikes after Vladimir Putin enacted a decree on the start of the week expanding their participation in the conflict. The Russian ruler also signed a law authorizing recruitment continuously whereas before it happened only during limited periods in fall and spring. The federation restricts recruits from being assigned to fighting, but after their military service they join the reserve forces, exposing them to potential of being deployed to conflict.

Heavy military spending have also started to pressure the national finances, with the government increasing levies to address growing shortfalls.

Zelenskyy's Appeals for Allied Help

Zelenskyy appealed to Washington to continue considering to providing Ukraine with extended-distance arms.

The Moscow's representation later expressed sympathy for the death of a foreign national in the collapse but used the chance to protest that the negative feedback to the statements was prejudiced toward the federation.
