Kremlin Military Strategic Shifts

National guard personnel will now have to guard oil refineries against Ukrainian drone strikes after Vladimir Putin signed a law on the start of the week expanding their participation in the military campaign. The Russian ruler also enacted a decree permitting draft enrollment all year round whereas earlier it occurred only during specific times in autumn and spring. Moscow legally bars conscripts from being sent to battle, but after their military service they become part of the backup units, putting them at risk of being sent to war.

Significant armed forces costs have also started to stress the federal treasury, with Moscow raising taxes to cover increasing gaps.
