"This is Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, which is a blatant violation of international law," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

"And according to international law, Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And it also includes strikes against legitimate military targets, Russian military targets outside of Ukraine. That's international law, and of course, Ukraine has the right to do that to defend itself."

It’s a martial law. It sucks, but it just is what it is.

Yes it is what it is: dictatorship. You can fight for freedom and still allow others to go where they want

Were you also this angry when flights were cut during the pandemic and people were not allowed to leave their house for 14 days when traveling?

Why wouldn't one be angry with it? Were you ok with china locking people inside their houses for months?

Tell me rather how drafting and sending people to the frontline to die for Kremlin in foreign countries if they try to flee Russia is not authoritarianism.

It is indeed authoritarianism now you tell me how russian and ukrainian martial law are different

I see, other countries were not locking people and were free to pass the disease away

Just take a look at each country's president, see how many terms each of them has got so far, see whose country attacked whose, and you'll figure out if that martial law is legally imposed due to an actual state of emergency, or if it's only a means to gain absolute power.
