Description:
The Ministry of Digital Development published a draft AI law on March 18, introducing a state registry of trusted AI models, localization requirements, labeling rules, and penalties. This follows Russia's established digital-sovereignty legislative pattern (sovereign internet law, data localization). The bill's transition from public consultation to formal Duma submission is the most likely next step within 180 days.
Synthesis:
The US-Iran war dominates today's outlook: Tehran's regime will survive the air campaign, but the conflict is driving a cascade of second-order crises — Fed policy paralysis, Middle East humanitarian collapse, and a global energy supply shock — while Russia quietly advances sovereign AI legislation in the shadow of the conflict.
