Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry names the purpose of Putin’s so-called “martial law”

19 OCTOBER 2022

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin  imposed martial law in the newly occupied territories of Ukraine in order to suppress the resistance of the local population.

Quote: “The declaration of the so-called “martial law” by the Russian Federation aims to suppress the resistance of the residents of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts who oppose the Russian occupation. Even massive Russian propaganda is unable to disguise the failure of Russia’s efforts to annex Ukrainian territories.

Putin’s decree is null and void. It has no legal consequences for Ukraine and its citizens, as well as for the international community. Instead, this step is just another example of the crimes of the Russian leadership against the Ukrainian state and Ukrainians.”

Details: The Ministry called on the West to provide Ukraine with modern systems of air and anti-missile defence as soon as possible.

  1. Whatever the criminal rat does – martial law, mobilization, begging trash countries for weapons – it’s all useless. He cannot win this war. That’s as certain as the sun rising tomorrow.
