Pretty easy to get martial law passed when you’ve taken over the press and banned all opposition parties.

The original martial law declaration pre-dates the banning of Russia-connected parties. Feb 24, 2022, immediately upon Putin's second invasion.

It has been renewed continuously since.

Facts are messy things, aren't they? Keep spoiling all your ignorant fantasies.

Yes. Z unilaterally declared martial law in February 2022 and a month later he outlawed opposition parties to eliminate resistance to his decree. Facts are indeed messy.
