Martial law introduced as soon as aggressor crosses line of contact – Poroshenko
KYIV: The martial law will be introduced in Ukraine as soon as the aggressor crosses the line of contact in Donbas and launches an organized attack on Ukrainian soldiers.
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stated this in a TV interview, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“If the truce is violated, the line of contact is crossed, the attack on the Ukrainian forces is launched, I will immediately sign a decree on introduction of martial law and submit it to the Parliament,” the President said.
Poroshenko noted that the Verkhovna Rada had already improved the legislation on martial law.
“I have no doubt that the martial law will be introduced within a few hours, and Ukraine will show its readiness for war, victory and peace,” he stressed.
