 State of emergency in Russia

A "state of emergency" in Russia, as in many countries, refers to a legal framework that allows the government to take exceptional measures in response to crises that threaten public order, security, or health. This can include natural disasters, public health emergencies, or civil unrest. In Russia, the President can declare a state of emergency under specific circumstances, often necessitating the approval of the Federation Council, the upper house of the Federal Assembly.
