Russian Defense Policy Changes

National guard personnel will now have to guard oil refineries against aerial attacks after Vladimir Putin signed a law on Tuesday increasing their involvement in the military campaign. The national leader also approved legislation allowing military conscription continuously whereas previously it was possible only during limited periods in fall and spring.

The Moscow's representation later posted condolences for the demise of a Romanian worker in the accident but took the opportunity to complain that the angry response to the comments was prejudiced toward the federation.
