Russian Security Policy Changes

The national leader also signed a law permitting draft enrollment all year round whereas earlier it occurred only during limited periods in cooler seasons.

The nation's top diplomat stated that the country would not change its international position or its values in reaction to reckless verbal attacks. The Moscow's representation later expressed sympathy for the passing of a foreign national in the incident but took the opportunity to object that the negative feedback to the statements was prejudiced toward the federation.
