Well. Putin wouldn’t need to declare martial law if the people had truly voted to be part of Russia. Kind of an admission on his part.
@Tiță Junior-Radu (Senaris) Ruzzia can leave the civilians behind , in Kherson, and their army can retreat . There is no protection from ruzzians , but they are forcing the Ukrainians to leave, without free Ukraine as an option …and the South is about 80% Ukrainian ethnics
Martial law gives absolute power to military and cancels civilian right , basically the ruzzians will use it as excuse to do whatever in the occupied region , even killing of civilians ..
Ukraine was invaded , martial law came as normal , while Ruzzia is the aggressor , leaded to war , invokes and misuses a law like they are under attack .
@James Bond
When Ukraine refused to kiss Putins ring it was simply a special ringjob opperation.
@Tiță Junior-Radu (Senaris) sounds like Ww3 is peasants vs elite
@basquat76 Crimea yearly independence celebrations what flags they fly?
He can declare unicorn law and it won’t change the fact that his army is being decimated
@Sad to the Bone and deleted once again. I have a new idea tho. I will do one at a time even if I have to do it one word at a time. Please appreciate that I must scroll to the top to refresh each comment to see of it os there or not.
@Sad to the Bone wow…deleted me that time for no apparent reason at all. I think I have come to the end of this conversation. Time to start again on a new thread. Sorry.
Decimated, Nah! Actually annihilated!
@Z O GOOGLE:” DID THE PENTAGON SAY THAT 70-80,000 RUSSIAN TROOPS HAVE BEEN KILLED OR WOUNDED IN UKRAINE 🇺🇦 “😏😏😏
She actually chuckled ‘Russia does not actually control those regions, however.’
@D Neuman u correct, thats what Russia is good at , smash and grab ,
She is so hungry for the mass human harvest predators
@I V D HE JUST TOLD ON HISSELF DIDN’T HE?!✌️🤣😂😂🤣😅
If people voted in masses, freely and willingly . Why the need for military rule ???
Why would you claim “martial law” in a region you took by force, as a dictator?
To force compliance in those regions…

Isn’t martial law kind of redundant after invading with tanks, artillery, soldiers, mortars and jet bombers?
@bngr bngr
one million soldiers?
where?
Givi funeral Donetsk Ukraine all US said terrorist
@Big Tex *SILENCE CONSCRIPT TROLL 😂🤣😅*
You can see how afraid Russians are for their leadership. They prefer to get killed in Ukraine instead of protests and risk jail time. A lot of prisoners doesn’t want to go to Ukraine, they prefer to stay in jail. That says a lot. I’m just really sorry for all the deaths on both sides😢
I was born in 1962 and these are the craziest times i’ve ever seen. Things fall apart. The center does not hold.

@Jeremy Owens the world has been continuously divided
Vladimir Putin declaring martial law in Ukraine is exactly as valid as me declaring prima nocta in Sweden. What a joke.
@JoKoJoKo UK Wow youre seriously going back to 1800s? Why not go back the the 16th century? or even the beginning of recorded history? Why dont we all denounce Egypts use of slaves in 3000 BC? Why are you holding Russia to 1800 standards? Are you saying Russia is acting imperialist and its invasion is purely valid and justified because in 1066 the Normans invaded England so its fine what Russia are doing? Or do you have a time limit on where you draw the line on when a country should be judged, and if so what year is your limit?
Nuland leaked calls 2014
For the first time in human history, a country has declared martial law on territory it does not conquer
😯😯😯😯
It’s MARTIAN LAW For Fucks sake!
Like in mars.
Man are from mars, woman are from venus!
@FCK PTLR Really? Because Iraq’s interim government declared martial law in 2004 or, you know, during a war that the US, UK, Australia and Poland started when they invaded. Nevermind that Ukraine declared martial law in 10 providences in 2018, during their Civil war that’s still going on.

@John Mcsorley Sir go play Zelensky high heel wearing video and entertain yourself with his Sodomy
Ethically cleans an area then hold a referendum at gun point. Totally credible.
No different than the founding of America
For the first time in history, a country has annexed a region while retreating from it.
@Joek1989 I know for a fact Hawaii was invaded by our military and that was why it was annexed. I dont remember the exact reason offhand, but the monarchy had to surrender after that. It was sometime in the late 1800s.
@JoKoJoKo UK at least this didn’t mentioned, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and God know what else. This went for Hawaii, Guam and Puerto Rico , you forgot the US Virgin Island.
Because he will nuke it
THAT’S FUNNY AS HELL AIN’T IT, KINDA LIKE PEOPLE SAYIN’ CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DISCOVERED AMERICA 🇺🇸 WHEN THERE WERE ALREADY PEOPLE LIVING HERE✊️😎😏😏😏
Unfortunately for Putin I just declared martial law in Russia, as Russia has just been annexed by me. I held a referendum and the result of that was that everyone wants to be part of my rule. This is just as absurd as any of Putin’s actions these past few months
Russian here )
@Richard Ivonen Trolls are always that way inclined, often forgetting that there is a wall on one side of the bed.
@facta non verba

Putin: *Declares martial law.*
Ukrainians in the occupied areas: “…so, what’s changed?”
Putin: *“Good question”*

This sounds a lot like the Russians saying “Hey we are going to nuke this city so the civilians should probably leave”. I find this extremely troubling.
I agree, but he won’t actually achieve anything by doing it. He’s putting himself in greater danger if he does this. He’s lost already.

I love the little laugh at the beginning. Goes to show how messed up and crazy this situation is.
