The four regions of Ukraine that were annexed by Russia last month—Donetsk, Lugansk, Khairsson, and Zaburigia—are now officially at war, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian President Mikhailo Podolak criticised the move.
Putin, in Poduliac’s opinion, had consistently made decisions on “absurd legislation to pillage the property of the Ukrainians.”
” He also saw in his tweet on Twitter, that it is not possible to consider the application of “martial law” on lands occupied by Russia except as the absurd legislation to loot the property of the Ukrainians, he said.
He continued by saying that nothing will change for Ukraine and vowed to take action to free the country from occupation.
These changes followed Putin’s announcement that he had signed a proclamation establishing martial law in Donbas, Khairsson, and Zaburiia during a meeting of the Russian Security Council.
He also indicated that he granted greater powers to the rulers of the aforementioned regions to ensure security and organize the work of factories and institutions to support the military operation, announcing the establishment of regional defense headquarters in those joining areas.
Additionally, the Russian president gave the government instructions to establish a coordination council with the participation of the regions, led by Prime Minister Mikhail Michosin.
A maximum alert was also declared by the head of the Kremlin for Moscow and the southern federal region, which are part of the central federal provinces.
He called for strengthening public order protection, ensuring public safety, and protecting military and government facilities.
Moreover, establishing an unique system to run facilities that ensure the operation of communication, energy, and transportation facilities and utilise their performance to satisfy defence demands. He also asked for the implementation of the inspection and a limitation on the movement of vehicles.
Additionally, Russian President Kyiv blamed the October 8 bombing of the Crimean Bridge.
He also stressed that Ukraine rejects any offer to negotiate and continue to bomb civilians.
In September 30, Putin declared, to raucous acclaim, that four Ukrainian regions will be included in a celebration on Moscow’s Red Square. Representatives from these regions signed the decrees.
However, given that it is void and against international law, as well as the fact that the referendums held in those regions were held under the “pressure of the Russian occupation,” this action has sparked intense criticism and assurances from around the world that it will not have any international impact.
In contrast, the Ukrainian forces have been launching counterattacks since late September, particularly in the northeast and south.
Putin’s typical decisions are criticised by Ukraine as “absurd legislation.”
