Maybe the war (sorry, Special Operation) may need funds to keep the war machine going.
The Russian government has requested the right to special measures during operations abroad
The Cabinet of Ministers submitted to the
State Duma a draft law on ensuring the conduct of operations by the Russian Armed Forces (AF) abroad. The corresponding document was
published in the Duma electronic database.
According to the bill, the Cabinet will be able to introduce special measures in the economic sphere to ensure the conduct of operations of the
Russian Armed Forces outside the country.
“In the conditions of conducting counter-terrorist and other operations by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and bodies outside the territory of the Russian Federation, in particular a special military operation in the territories of the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Luhansk People’s Republic and Ukraine, there is a short-term increased need for the repair of weapons and military equipment and provision of material and technical means, ”the explanatory note says.
To do this, the authors of the bill continued, it is necessary to temporarily focus on certain sectors of the economy, especially in the context of the imposition of sanctions against Russian citizens and legal entities. These measures may include additional loading of production capacities of enterprises that belong to the military-industrial complex, as well as the formation of government orders to ensure supplies to the Russian Armed Forces.

Russia withdrew the garrison from Zmeiny Island as a gesture of goodwill
Russia has withdrawn its troops from Zmeiny Island as a gesture of goodwill, the Defense Ministry said.
"Thus, it has been demonstrated to the world community that the
Russian Federation does not interfere with the efforts of the
UN to organize a humanitarian corridor for the export of agricultural products from the territory of Ukraine," the ministry noted.
They also stressed that such a step would deprive
Kiev of the opportunity to speculate on the problem of the food crisis, hiding behind the "impossibility" of exporting grain due to the control of Russian troops.
The ministry added that now, in order to resume supplies, the Ukrainian side must clear the
Black Sea coast , off its coast, including port waters
The
UN has repeatedly stated the threat of a food crisis due to a shortage of grain, the West accused Russia of counteracting the supply of Ukrainian grain to world markets,
Moscow categorically rejected such accusations. At the same time, the Kiev authorities themselves created many obstacles to export: in addition to the arson of grain that was revealed in the Mariupol port, the Armed Forces of Ukraine mined some areas of the
Black Sea , which does not allow grain to be transported to world markets by ships.
President
Vladimir Putin said that Russia does not prevent the export of grain from
Ukraine , if
Kiev clears the ports of mines, ships with grain will be able to leave without any problems.
