Russian Military Legal Adjustments

The head of state also enacted a decree permitting draft enrollment throughout the year whereas earlier it occurred only during limited periods in cooler seasons.

The Moscow's representation later expressed sympathy for the passing of a construction employee in the incident but took the opportunity to object that the negative feedback to the statements was biased against Russia.
