Zelenskyy suggests extending martial law and mobilisation

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested that the Verkhovna Rada [the Ukrainian Parliament] extend martial law and mobilisation in Ukraine.

Details: Draft laws No. 8189 and No. 8190 were registered on the Parliament's website on 8 November. 

Now both draft laws have been sent to the Rada leadership for further consideration. 

MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported that at the next plenary session, Rada will extend the martial law and general mobilisation campaign.

He said that most likely, these measures will be continued until 19 February 2023. 

Background: 

• The martial law in Ukraine is to expire on 21 November. 
• The martial law was introduced on 24 February 2022, the first day of full-scale invasion by Russia, though by that time, the undeclared war between Ukraine and Russia has been underway for eight years.
• The Parliament extended the martial law twice for 30 days, and twice for 90 days. The same goes for mobilisation.
