There are no plans to introduce martial law in Russia, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a briefing, RBC correspondent reports.
“No, this is not in the plans,” Peskov said in response to a request to comment on the words of US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines about the likely declaration of martial law in Russia.
We are talking about Haines’ speech at a hearing before the Armed Services Committee of the US Congress in early May. She stated, Politico wrote, that the situation in Ukraine in the coming months may move in a more unpredictable scenario, the risk of escalation is high.
The current conditions, according to the head of National Intelligence, “will open up a period of more situational decision-making in Russia,” which is why it is possible to use “more radical means”, the introduction of martial law, “displacement” of industrial production to support combat operations, and others.
At the same time, we should not expect progress in the negotiations between Moscow and Kiev in the near future, Haines continued, clarifying that there are no opportunities for this scenario. “Both Russia and Ukraine believe that they can continue to achieve military success,” she explained.

Russia has launched a military operation in Ukraine for its “demilitarization” and “denazification”, Putin said on February 24. He explained that he had decided to start it to protect the civilians of Donbass from bullying and “genocide”.
In response, Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia, declared mobilization and imposed martial law (at the end of April it was extended until May 25).
The parties have held several rounds of negotiations since the end of February, and the greatest progress has been achieved in Istanbul, at the Dolmabahce Palace. Putin called the agreements reached there progress, noting that the Ukrainian side “did not link [the security requirements for Kiev] with such a concept as the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.” He later said that Kiev’s position soon changed a lot. In early May, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that the process of negotiations with Ukraine is stagnating.
