Moscow's Defense Legal Adjustments

The head of state also enacted a decree permitting draft enrollment all year round whereas before it happened only during specific times in fall and spring.

The Moscow's representation later posted condolences for the demise of a Romanian worker in the accident but used the chance to complain that the negative feedback to the remarks was prejudiced toward the federation.
