OREANDA-NEWS The authorities did not plan to announce a general mobilization and ban Russians from leaving the country. Andrei Klishas, head of the Federation Council Constitutional Committee, told RBC in an interview.

"Mobilization is not envisaged," he said. - A ban on departure, a total ban on departure for all Russians or population groups - also no."

He explained that the legislation has a clear list of grounds on which citizens may be restricted to leave the country, and all these restrictions are temporary in nature. "That is, there is no possibility to introduce a total ban for everyone forever," added the senator. There are also no plans to impose martial law, Klishas said.

In Ukraine, where the Russian special operation continues, martial law has been imposed. Such a measure was taken on February 24, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a military operation in Ukraine. He explained this by the need to "demilitarize and denationalize" Ukraine. Later, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky introduced general mobilization in the country; the decree stipulates that it will take place within 90 days in all regions of Ukraine. Military conscripted men between the ages of 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country, except for a number of exceptions.

Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the information about the possible introduction of martial law in Russia a "duck." "It's all in social networks - pure "ducks." Then citizens forward them to each other. We need to be very careful with all the information and not become victims of just common rumors and common deceptions," he said.
