A brief summary of CTO legal implications: • FSB officers become part of the command structure of the military operation and participate in military planning and decision making at the highest levels. • Conscripted soldiers may be utilised in combat operations (not just mobilized reservists). • Security services may requisition property of citizens such as personal vehicles, warehouses etc for CTO use. • Strict powers of control over the exchange of information. • Communication means may be disconnected by security services without notice. • Unimpeded access to any CTO employee into any premises in Russia without the need for legal warrant. • Restrictions on freedom of movement • Employees of FSB, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Emergency Situations and others, become part of the CTO. • Expanded powers to security forces in who may be designated a hostile combatant. This opens the door to targeted destruction of non-military individuals. via Slavyangrad
