Kremlin Security Legal Adjustments

The Russian ruler also signed a law authorizing recruitment all year round whereas before it happened only during specific times in fall and spring.

The federation's diplomatic mission later posted condolences for the passing of a Romanian worker in the collapse but seized the moment to complain that the angry response to the statements was biased against Russia.
