Putin’s Martial Law Imposition In Annexed Ukrainian Regions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared martial law in four Ukrainian regions recently ‘annexed’ by Moscow. Moscow annexed the territories in September after what Ukraine and the West called “sham referendums”. The Russian leader noted that Ukraine had already declared its own martial law in the occupied regions following Russia’s invasion. Putin added that extraordinary measures were necessary to counter Ukrainian aggression. 00:00 - INTRODUCTION 01:20 - RUSSIAN FORCES STRUGGLE TO RETAIN CONTROL 03:41 - HOW HAS UKRAINE REACTED TO PUTIN’S MOVE? 03:39 - WHAT IS MARTIAL LAW? 04:39 - WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF MARTIAL LAW? 06:35 - WHAT DOES PUTIN HOPE TO ACHIEVE? 07:29 - DOES MARTIAL LAW BETRAY PUTIN’S DESPERATION ?
