Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared martial law in the four Ukrainian territories annexed by the Kremlin last month. Putin signed the declaration on Wednesday, giving officials in the four regions — Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — broad powers to regulate civilian and military affairs.
Putin announced the move during a meeting of Russia’s security council. “The Kyiv regime, as you know, refused to recognize the will and choice of people, rejecting any proposals for negotiations. To the contrary, shelling continues. Civilians are dying," he said according to Moscow-based news agency Interfax.
According to an expanded text of the decree, martial law will allow Russian authorities in the four regions — which most of the international community recognizes as belonging to Ukraine — to “carry out mobilization measures in the economic sphere,” implement “civil defense measures” and take steps to “meet the needs of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.”
