Russian President Vladimir Putin declared martial law Wednesday in the four regions of Ukraine that Moscow annexed and gave all regional governors in Russia emergency powers that open the door for sweeping new restrictions throughout the country.

Putin didn’t immediately spell out the steps that would be taken under martial law, but said his order was effective starting Thursday. His decree gave law enforcement agencies three days to submit specific proposals and orders the creation of territorial defense forces in the annexed regions.

The upper house of Russia’s parliament quickly endorsed Putin’s decision to impose martial in the annexed Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions. The approved legislation indicated the declaration may involve restrictions on travel and public gatherings, tighter censorship and broader authority for law enforcement agencies.

“We are working to solve very difficult large-scale tasks to ensure Russia’s security and safe future, to protect our people,” Putin said in televised remarks at the start of a Security Council meeting. “Those who are on the frontlines or undergoing training at firing ranges and training centers should feel our and know that they have our big, great country and unified people behind their back.”

On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry said two men fired at soldiers on a military firing range near Ukraine, killing 11 and wounding 15. The ministry said two men from an unnamed former Soviet republic fired on volunteer soldiers during target practice before they were killed by return fire.

Putin didn’t provide details of the extra powers the heads of Russian regions will have under his decree. However, the order states that measures envisaged by martial law could be introduced anywhere in Russia “when necessary.”

According to the Russian legislation, martial law could require banning public gatherings, introducing travel bans and curfews, and conducting censorship, among other restrictions.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin’s order doesn’t anticipate the closure of Russia’s borders, state news agency RIA-Novosti reported. In an apparent attempt to assuage a nervous public, regional authorities rushed to declare that no immediate curfews or restrictions on travel were planned.

Putin last month ordered a mobilization of army reservists, prompting hundreds of thousands of men to flee Russia.

The Russian leader on Wednesday also ordered the establishment of a Coordination Committee to increase interactions between government agencies in dealing with the fighting in Ukraine, which Putin continued to call a “special military operation.”

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who was named to lead the committee, said it would focus on boosting supplies of weapons and military equipment, conducting construction work and facilitating transportation.

This right here is a brilliant leader with good strategy, rare sense of reasoning and foresight.

He knows the evil westerners hands are tied at the moment having exhausted all sanctionable sanctions. All those billions of military packages sent to Ukraine, either ended up falling into wrong hands and been sold in black market for peanuts by terrorists or destroyed by Russian forces with ease.

They have now resorted to sponsoring terrorist suicide bombers and saboteurers, like a coward they are. And With what happened with the crimean bridge and Nord stream Pipeline been blown off.
Putin needed to put all preventive strategy in place to curtail the new menace, and safeguard the newly 4 annexed region, which are now part of mother Russia from infiltrator and evil elements.

He knows their little dirty games of infiltration, and he is countering it smartly before it even start.


For the ones that dont know what martial law is: it means anything going in and out of that region are militarily scrutinize, even to the smallest ant.
In other words, it means if you do any how, you see anyhow. Shoot on sight without waiting for any Commander's order or any court to judge the terrorists.

This is how to deal with suicide infiltrators and saboteurs.
What a leader. Russians are lucky to have someone like that.

Mad man

Declaring martial law in another sovereign country is insane.


Putin is a psychopath, a war criminal and mass murderer.

Someone should please put this land-grabber out of his misery.

The funny thing is that his forces are not even in full control of all these four regions.
