ISW analysts have found that Vladimir Putin is shifting responsibility for the war onto the State Duma and Russian citizens. Experts consider this part of a strategy to militarize society ahead of the 2026 elections. 🇷🇺📉

Andrey Kartapolov, Head of the State Duma Defense Committee, denied rumors of a new mobilization in Russia, calling them Zelenskyy's fantasy. However, the Ukrainian President warned of Putin's plans to conduct a draft in the autumn and voiced data on Russia's losses. 🇷🇺🇺🇦📉

The State Duma has adopted a package of amendments to the Tax Code to stabilize the fuel market. New damper rules, import compensations, and flexibility in exchange sales have been introduced. The measures are designed to compensate for the loss of refinery capacity and ensure the agricultural sector. 🛢️🚜📉
