Pooty Poot may declare martial law in Russia. Here's what it would mean for Russians.

As fierce Ukrainian resistance has slowed Putin’s invasion and dissent against the invasion grows among Russians, European Union officials fear Putin may declare martial law on Friday.

One week after the distant booms heard outside Kyiv in the pre-dawn hours signaled the beginning of the Russian advance, more than one million people have reportedly fled Ukraine and hundreds of military and civilian deaths have been reported as the Russian military continues to lay siege to cities all around Ukraine.

An EU official called the potential Russian plans for martial law “completely home-produced.”

"As is the tragic loss of young lives killed in the military conflict, with Russian mothers having to learn about the loss of their sons,” the official told Reuters. “So it is something we're conscious of. And it's something we're worried about.”
