Russian Defense Policy Changes

Defense force members will now have to secure petroleum plants against aerial attacks after Vladimir Putin approved legislation on the weekday extending their entanglement in the military campaign. The Russian ruler also signed a law allowing military conscription continuously whereas earlier it occurred only during specific times in fall and spring.

The nation's top diplomat stated that the country would not change its international position or its principles in reaction to careless statements. The federation's diplomatic mission later posted condolences for the passing of a construction employee in the collapse but seized the moment to object that the negative feedback to the remarks was prejudiced toward the federation.
