Russian Military Strategic Shifts

The head of state also enacted a decree authorizing recruitment continuously whereas earlier it occurred only during restricted intervals in fall and spring. The federation restricts conscripts from being deployed to combat, but after their military service they enter Russia's reserves, exposing them to potential of being assigned to combat zones.
Heavy military spending have also started to stress the federal treasury, with the government increasing levies to plug a rising deficit.
Ukrainian Leader's Appeals for International Support
The Ukrainian president appealed to Washington to remain open to providing Ukraine with long-range weapons. Addressing a European Union summit from the Pokrovsk area, the national leader also requested more international restrictions on the nation – including on Russia's gas and nuclear sectors – and said he sought accession to the union prior to the next decade.
International Support and Political Changes
The federal republic plans to raise its military aid to the nation by a substantial amount next year to about 11.5 billion euros, the finance ministry in the German government said on the start of the week.

Italy requested the envoy's presence on Tuesday to protest at what it said were offensive, concerning and unacceptable statements by Moscow's foreign ministry spokeswoman who associated the tragic event of a building in the capital to Italy's military support for the conflict zone. The government representative stated that Italy will not alter its diplomatic approach or its standards in answer to reckless verbal attacks. The Russian embassy in Rome later offered regrets for the death of a Romanian worker in the incident but used the chance to protest that the angry response to the remarks was biased against Russia.
