Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday signed a bill allowing for the detention of people, who violate martial law, for a period of up to 30 days.
The bill, posted on the Russian government’s online portal, adopted measures that foresee a fine of up to 1,000 Russian rubles ($11.8) or administrative detention for up to 30 days if a citizen does not comply with the law on martial law but also does not commit a “criminally punishable act.”
In the case of government officials, the non-compliance of a citizen involves a fine of up to 2,000 Russian rubles ($23.6) or administrative detention for up to 30 days, according to the bill.
It also indicates that a vehicle can be confiscated as an additional punishment if a citizen does not comply with the measures.
In October, Putin signed a decree on the introduction of martial law in the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, which were annexed from Ukraine last September following what the West denounced as “sham” referendums.
