Putin declares martial law within contested Russian territories
Telegraph, 19 Oct 2022
Vladimir Putin has imposed martial law on the four regions of Ukraine that the Kremlin annexed last month.
Martial law hands the military extra powers which the Russian president said were necessary to counter the “security risk” to the regions.
Putin also announced that extra security powers will be granted to the Russian-installed leaders of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
