Putin announces martial law in four annexed Ukrainian regions

Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, says he has signed a decree imposing martial law in the four Ukrainian regions he has declared annexed by Russia: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

He chaired a national security meeting to give additional powers to officials he installed in the Ukrainian regions. The announcement marks the latest escalation in order to try and counter Russian defeats after Ukraine started to force Russian troops out of eastern territories from September.

A man under pressure - thinking more about his own control than victory in his war

I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future with gas and food prices rising every day. Our savings have decreased with the cost of living in the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can move on, but I can't go on. My condolences to those who retire in this crisis, 40 years without stopping just because a rogue system takes everything it worked for

His picture should be put up with the dictators and oppressor's of our time.

It is genuinely amazing (with no hyperbole) to read the comments and realize just how politically/historically illiterate so many people in the West are. It is a like reading the reactions of 2 year old who appears to have a fully evolved vocabulary, but zero understanding of reality. Very, very hard times ahead for the collective West.

Vlad just described himself and his actions to a tee. That said, I will also be declaring martial law on my local high street on black Friday and during the Xmas season to stop the menace of shopaholics!

[chrisedwards]

Putin's flags remind me of Johnson and his flags

What Planet do these people live on. Its Bizarre

[ManuelFresh]

Lol how many civilians have the Russian’s killed in this war? His announcements have become a comedy show

[hagegebo]

Got to love that liars cough in the beginning

Martial Law on land that is not yours is putting cross hairs on your forheads
