The Russian Federation Council stated that "wartime laws" could remain in effect for years after the war
In Russia, some of the laws and restrictions introduced during the war against Ukraine may remain in effect for years even after the war ends.
This was stated by Andrei Klishas, chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building.
He was responding to a question about the duration of the so-called “wartime laws.”
“Perhaps some provision will be deemed useful, and it will remain in effect for years,” Klishas noted.
According to him, the Russian authorities will review current legislation and lift restrictions only “if they lose their relevance.” At the same time, he did not specify the criteria for determining such “relevance.”
Thus, Russia does not rule out that certain regulations introduced during the war could become long-term and remain in effect even during peacetime.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense initiated the creation of regional “defense headquarters” in case martial law is imposed.
