Russia has engaged reservists to protect oil refineries: reason - attacks by Ukrainian drones.
According to inkorr.com: High-ranking Russian military officials announced the mobilization of reservists to guard civilian facilities, including oil refineries. This decision was a response to the increase in attacks by Ukrainian drones in the internal regions of Russia.
Changes in Russia's military strategy
Amid the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to increase the number of servicemen in the regular army to 1.5 million. This move is due to the participation of about 700,000 Russians in the war on Ukrainian territory and the presence of 2 million active reservists.
Impact of Ukrainian drone attacks
Ukrainian drones continue to threaten Russian oil refineries; one belonging to the company 'Rosneft' has already suspended its operations. These attacks are becoming increasingly strategic, forcing Moscow to import gasoline that it previously exported.
The involvement of reservists and new military decisions in Russia indicate a serious revision of defense strategy in the face of growing threats. Attacks on civilian facilities not only impact the economy but also force the government to seek new ways to protect critical infrastructure.
