Ukraine extends martial law for another three months
The Ukrainian parliament has extended the existing martial law and mobilisation by a further three months until early November, Ukrainian media reported on Tuesday, quoting members of parliament.
Reports noted that a majority voted in favour of the laws introduced by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Both measures were due to expire on August 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.
