Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the recall of mobilization reservists to protect critical infrastructure following increased Ukrainian drone attacks. A decree effective immediately directs reservists to attend special training camps in 2026 to guard key facilities, including energy installations like the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. Officials state this initiative does not involve new mobilization, with reservists serving in their home regions and retaining civilian jobs. Authorities also cautioned the public about potential mobile internet outages during New Year holidays due to drone guidance systems.
