THE Ukrainian parliament has extended the existing martial law and mobilisation by a further three months until early November, Ukrainian media reported on Tuesday, citing members of parliament.
A clear majority voted in favour of the laws introduced by President Volodymyr Zelensky, reports said.
Both measures were due to expire on Aug. 12 without an extension.
Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia’s all-out invasion since February 2022.
Martial law was imposed in the country and mobilisation was ordered following the invasion.
Since then, conscripted men between 18 and 60 can only leave the country in exceptional cases.
23rd July, 2024.
