Putin signed the law on special measures in the economy when the Russian Armed Forces conduct operations abroad

The document was published on the official Internet portal of legal information.

The law provides that the government may decide on the introduction of special economic measures in order to carry out counter-terrorist and other operations by the Russian Armed Forces, other troops, military formations and bodies outside the country.

As part of the introduction of special measures in the economy, the government receives the right to temporarily reactivate mobilization capacities and facilities, as well as the right to unbook the material assets of the state reserve.

With the introduction of special measures in the economy, legal entities will not have the right to refuse to conclude contracts for conducting counter-terrorism and other operations of the Russian Armed Forces outside the country.

The government will also have the right to regulate labor relations in individual organizations, including the conditions for granting leave, work after hours, at night or on weekends.

Earlier, the State Duma adopted in the second and third readings the government's initiative to provide for the Russian army during counter-terrorist and other operations outside the country.

The explanatory note to the document noted that against the background of the special operation in Ukraine, there is a short-term increased need for the repair of weapons and military equipment.
