Volatile Circumstances in Pokrovsk

Kremlin Security Policy Changes

National guard personnel will now have to protect fuel facilities against unmanned assaults after Vladimir Putin approved legislation on the weekday increasing their involvement in the military campaign. The Russian ruler also enacted a decree authorizing recruitment continuously whereas previously it was possible only during restricted intervals in fall and spring. Moscow legally bars draftees from being assigned to fighting, but after their defense commitment they become part of the backup units, exposing them to potential of being assigned to combat zones.

Substantial defense expenditures have also started to stress the federal treasury, with the government increasing levies to cover increasing gaps.
