KYIV (Reuters) – A Ukrainian presidential adviser dismissed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s declaration of martial law in four occupied regions of Ukraine on Wednesday as the “pseudo-legalization of looting of Ukrainians’ property.”
“‘Martial law’ implementation on the occupied territories by Russia should be considered only as a pseudo-legalization of looting of Ukrainians’ property by another ‘regrouping’,” the adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, wrote on Twitter.
“This does not change anything for Ukraine: we continue the liberation and deoccupation of our territories,” he wrote.
