Putin also dismissed rumours that Moscow plans to declare martial law. “Martial law should only be introduced in cases where there is external aggression ... we are not experiencing that at the moment and I hope we won’t,” he said
Just think of the public opinion shift in Russia, if at least one person on it's soil got hurt. As it stands, they are as safe as we are. Probably posting Borat pictures of their own. Nobody is firing back. I just don't understand that. If someone keeps attacking you, can anybody really just keep taking it without hitting out? I hear a lot of 'help me' pleas but they are yet to hand out a taste of what they are receiving.
