The Russian ruler also approved legislation allowing military conscription throughout the year whereas before it happened only during specific times in cooler seasons. The federation restricts conscripts from being deployed to combat, but after their defense commitment they enter Russia's reserves, putting them at risk of being sent to war.

Heavy military spending have also started to pressure the national finances, with the government increasing levies to address growing shortfalls.
