Moscow's Security Policy Changes

Defense force members will now have to protect fuel facilities against aerial attacks after Vladimir Putin enacted a decree on the weekday increasing their involvement in the military campaign. The head of state also approved legislation authorizing recruitment continuously whereas before it happened only during limited periods in cooler seasons. Moscow legally bars recruits from being assigned to fighting, but after their defense commitment they join the reserve forces, exposing them to potential of being sent to war.

The Moscow's representation later offered regrets for the demise of a construction employee in the accident but seized the moment to object that the angry response to the comments was prejudiced toward the federation.
