The nation's leader traveled to address Ukrainian forces in the eastern front on the start of the week.

Kremlin Military Strategic Shifts

Russian military reservists will now have to guard oil refineries against aerial attacks after the president approved legislation on the start of the week expanding their participation in the war effort. The Russian ruler also approved legislation permitting draft enrollment throughout the year whereas earlier it occurred only during limited periods in cooler seasons. Russian law prohibits conscripts from being deployed to combat, but after their defense commitment they enter Russia's reserves, exposing them to potential of being deployed to conflict.

Heavy military spending have also started to strain the Russian state budget, with Moscow raising taxes to address growing shortfalls.
