An interesting Defense24 analysis of legal implications of #Russia government convoluted classification of invasion on #Ukraine as “special military operation”.
As it comes out, the original decision required changes in the existing “war veterans” laws to extend their status on soldiers participating… not in war, but in the “special operation”. However, Kremlin denial effectively resulted in a weird situation where invaders fighting abroad are “veterans” but Russian soldiers fighting with Ukrainian raid groups in Kursk oblast aren’t.
Right now Kremlin tries to solve the situation by a nearly literal, geographic enumeration of places where fighting makes you a veteran, creating an obvious challenge when the fighting moves to another location.
