Russian Defense Legal Adjustments

Defense force members will now have to guard oil refineries against aerial attacks after the Russian leader signed a law on the weekday expanding their participation in the conflict. The Russian ruler also signed a law permitting draft enrollment all year round whereas earlier it occurred only during restricted intervals in autumn and spring.
