Russia drafts law to mobilize 2M reservists to counter drone attacks

Russia has drafted a new law that would allow President Vladimir Putin to mobilize up to 2 million civilian reservists for a period of up to 60 days. This measure aims to protect critical infrastructure from drone strikes amid escalating Ukrainian attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on energy and industrial sites.

The bill, which has received support from the Defense Committee, is designed to bolster defenses without deploying these reservists to the front lines. The move comes in response to increasing concerns over the impact of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian infrastructure.
