Reports that Russia plans martial law declared false

The plan of the Russian administration to declare martial law in a number of Russian regions is a hoax, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Reports about the intention of the Russian authorities to prohibit Russian men from traveling to other countries are nothing but rumours too, he added.

Peskov urged not to believe rumours not to become victims of deception. One needs to perceive every piece of information carefully, he said.

“No, these are hoaxes, they come from social media, where people keep reporting such messages,” Peskov added.
