Moscow's Defense Strategic Shifts

The head of state also approved legislation allowing military conscription throughout the year whereas earlier it occurred only during limited periods in autumn and spring. The federation restricts draftees from being sent to battle, but after their armed forces duty they become part of the backup units, placing them in danger of being deployed to conflict.
