Kremlin Security Strategic Shifts

Russian military reservists will now have to secure petroleum plants against unmanned assaults after the Russian leader signed a law on the weekday expanding their participation in the war effort. The Russian ruler also signed a law authorizing recruitment throughout the year whereas earlier it occurred only during restricted intervals in fall and spring.
