After months of drone strikes on its energy sites, Russia has passed a law that allows reservists to be sent to “special training” to protect critical infrastructure.
We unpack what the new law means for the war in Ukraine.

When it's accepted we're not at peace, but we're being regulaly attacked by a hostile state which considers itself to be at war with us, I think it's just called "not fighting back". 🤷♂️
At the Berlin Security Conference, NATO’s Ingo Gerhartz warned that the West is “not at war, but no longer at peace” due to Russia’s threat
Gerhartz noted Russia exploits Europe's bureaucracy, slow weapon production, and divisions to weaken the West

As NATO is so aggressive, we have moved our border guards from where NATO *is* on our Estonian border, and sent them to die in Ukraine, where NATO *is not*
