What does the introduction of four levels of readiness in the regions of Russia mean - Moscow 24, 10/19/2022

On October 19, Vladimir Putin signed a decree introducing four levels of readiness in the Russian Federation. In particular, the maximum affects the LDNR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, martial law is introduced there. The middle one concerns the territories bordering Ukraine, including the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. The level of increased readiness applies to other regions of the Central Federal District and the Southern Federal District, and the basic level - to the remaining subjects. Let's tell you what it means.

Four levels of response

The Kyiv regime rejects any proposals for negotiations, Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Security Council on 19 October. Enemy troops continue to shell Russian territories, civilians are dying. Kyiv sends sabotage groups to the Russian Federation, the president stressed, recalling the involvement of Ukrainian special services in the explosion on the Crimean bridge.

We have suppressed terrorist attacks in other regions of Russia, including in places of mass stay of people, against transport facilities, energy, I want to emphasize, including nuclear energy facilities.

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

To secure the territory of Russia, Vladimir Putin signed two decrees. One introduces martial law in the LDNR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. The corresponding decree was approved by the Federation Council. It will take effect from 00:00 on October 20. The second decree introduces four levels of readiness in Russia, in particular: the maximum and medium levels of response, as well as the level of high and basic readiness.

Maximum level - in four constituent entities of the Russian Federation

The maximum response level is introduced in the territories of the LDNR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. This implies that local authorities are given powers under the Martial Law Act.

Thus, if necessary, they can decide to evacuate social facilities (schools, hospitals), as well as cultural and economic facilities. In addition, temporarily relocate citizens to areas considered safe.

Powers allow local authorities to introduce a special regime of entry and exit from the regions, vehicle inspection. In addition, they can prohibit leaving the territory of Russia. If necessary, the population is allowed to seize the property necessary for defense (its cost will be reimbursed by the state).

Local authorities may also impose a curfew and a ban on the sale of weapons. It is permissible to involve residents in work for the needs of the army and the elimination of the consequences of shelling. The introduction of military censorship and a number of other measures are also envisaged.

Acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin called the introduction of martial law on the territory of four new Russian regions timely. According to him, this will not affect the rights of citizens. "This is natural and timely, because we are now subjects of the Russian Federation. Secondly, this will not particularly and radically affect the restrictions on the freedoms of our citizens, because we have been living under martial law for eight and a half years," he stressed.

Medium level – in eight regions

Photo: kremlin.ru

Eight Russian regions are introducing a medium level of response. We are talking about the Crimea, Sevastopol, Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk and Rostov regions.

This status enables local authorities, in particular, to strengthen the protection of public order and critical infrastructure, if necessary. We are talking about transport, communications, energy and so on. In addition, residents can be relocated to a safe place for a while. They will be provided with permanent or temporary housing.

The medium level of response also includes the restriction of traffic and its inspection. In addition, a special regime of entry and exit from the territory, if necessary. Possible restrictions on movement in the regions and other measures are envisaged. The head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, commented on the situation in his telegram channel.

The President also introduced in the Republic of Crimea and several other subjects of the Russian Federation bordering the NVO zone, a medium level of response, which will help in the implementation of mobilization measures in a number of areas, including the economy. I emphasize that the introduction of a curfew and restrictions on entry and exit is not planned at the moment.

Sergey Aksenov

head of Crimea

In turn, the head of the Federal Tourism Agency Zarina Doguzova said that tourist facilities in the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea continue to work without changes. "At the moment, no restrictions have been imposed on tourism in the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. The entire tourist infrastructure continues to operate as usual," she said.

High alert level

In other regions of the Central and Southern federal districts, a high alert level is introduced by Vladimir Putin's decree. It also involves, if necessary, strengthening the protection of public order, restricting the movement of vehicles and their inspection. However, unlike the average level of alert, it does not imply the temporary resettlement of citizens to safe areas, as well as the introduction of a special regime for entering and leaving the region.

Sergei Sobyanin stressed that at the moment no measures are being introduced in the capital to limit the habitual pace of life of Muscovites. In turn, Andrey Klishas, ​​head of the Federation Council committee on constitutional legislation and state building, said that the introduction of a high alert regime would not entail restrictions on the rights of residents of the Central Federal District and the Southern Federal District of Russia.

"These decisions relate primarily to public authorities, the rights of citizens are not limited in any way," he explained.

Level of basic readiness - in other regions

In other regions, the level of basic readiness is introduced. Within the framework of this regime, only strengthening the protection of public order, critical facilities, as well as control over the work of the latter is provided.

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov specified that in connection with the new measures, the country's borders are not planned to be closed.

Ukraine is not afraid to talk with Russia about a neutral status and security guarantees, Podolyak said. Kyiv announced its readiness for negotiations on this issue against the backdrop of Russia's military operation in the Donbass

Photo: Ethan Swope / Bloomberg

Ukraine is ready to negotiate with Russia on a neutral status, but it must also receive security guarantees, according to a statement by an adviser to the head of the office President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak, received by RBC.

“Ukraine has always left and leaves room for negotiations. Including now, when Russia went on a full-scale invasion. This war must be stopped. These hostilities must be stopped,” Podolyak said.

As President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in his address, he did not see the readiness of European countries “to fight with us and see Ukraine in NATO,” the adviser continued. This means that "they are afraid," he said. However, Ukraine is “not afraid”, just as it is “not afraid” to talk with Russia about a neutral status and about guarantees, he said.

“Today we heard from Moscow what they want to say. If they want to talk about status neutrality, we have no fear of such a discussion. The only question is who and how will be able to guarantee the security of Ukraine and the fulfillment of the agreements by the guarantors,” Podolyak said.

www.adv.rbc.ru

Until 2014, Ukraine had a non-bloc status, but then adopted a strategy, one of the directions of which is the country's desire to become a member of NATO and the European Union. Against the backdrop of Russian hostilities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his readiness to discuss with Moscow a neutral status and security guarantees for Kyiv.

Russia has been carrying out an operation in Donbass since 24 February.
