Kremlin Military Strategic Shifts

Defense force members will now have to protect fuel facilities against aerial attacks after the president approved legislation on the weekday increasing their involvement in the conflict. The national leader also enacted a decree allowing military conscription all year round whereas earlier it occurred only during specific times in fall and spring.
