Kremlin Defense Legal Adjustments

Russian military reservists will now have to protect fuel facilities against aerial attacks after the Russian leader approved legislation on Tuesday expanding their participation in the war effort. The Russian ruler also signed a law authorizing recruitment continuously whereas earlier it occurred only during limited periods in fall and spring.

The Italian foreign minister stated that the nation would maintain its foreign policy stance or its values in response to irresponsible comments. The Moscow's representation later offered regrets for the demise of a foreign national in the incident but used the chance to protest that the critical reaction to the comments was biased against Russia.
