A limited martial law was introduced a month ago in ten Ukrainian oblasts in response to Russia’s attack on Ukrainian naval boats in the Kerch Strait. Russia had attacked and seized three vessels, capturing 24 Ukrainian servicemen. It was the first time since 2014 when Russia overtly admitted its aggressive actions against Ukraine. Earlier it denied any involvement in both its invasions in Crimea and war in the Donbas.
