In the wake of massive Ukraine drone attacks on his Valdai residence on Sunday night, President Vladimir Putin has recalled reservists to protect critical installations across the nation.
"In 2026, citizens of the Russian Federation serving in the mobilisation reserve of the Russian Armed Forces will be sent to special training camps to ensure the protection of critical facilities and other vital infrastructure," a decree signed today by the president said, according to TASS.
In the decree, which came into effect immediately, the Russian government has been instructed to determine a list of critical facilities and other vital infrastructure to be protected.
