According to our intelligence, starting March 4, Russia has the desire to introduce martial law in the country. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov said this during a telethon and added that he wanted to see how Moscow and St. Petersburg would react to it.

"It is the data of our intelligence that since March 4 Russia has the desire to introduce martial law in its country. I want to see how Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities, where there are more intellectuals who understand what is happening in general on the territory of the Russian Federation, will react to this," Danilov said.

According to the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, as of today, "if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not have enough cannon fodder, he can take those children who will be drafted into the army, in order to send them here to get into our meat grinder."

"I don't understand why he's doing this. Moreover, I can say that the vast majority of employees of Russian companies, Russians, those who occupy high positions - do not understand at all the logic that Putin has lately," summarized Danilov.

It is also worth noting that the possibility of introducing martial law in Russia was also reported by Mikhail Podolyak, advisor to the head of the OP.

"On March 4, both chambers of the Russian parliament will gather for an emergency extraordinary meeting. On the agenda, as I understand it, the preventive introduction of martial law in the Russian Federation," he wrote on Twitter.
