Putin Signs Laws to Enhance National Security
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed laws to utilize reservists in guarding oil refineries and enable year-round conscription.
This move comes after Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian oil refineries, resulting in gasoline shortages in certain regions.
Kyiv has been targeting Russian refineries in retribution for Moscow’s drones and missiles strikes in Ukraine, and in an attempt to cut off energy revenues that fund Russia’s army.
Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure in recent months, causing petrol prices to spike and forcing some regions to introduce fuel rationing.
