Kyiv: Ukraine's parliament on Tuesday voted to extend the country's martial law and general mobilization for an additional 90 days, running from August 2 to October 31, 2026.
According to Anadolu Agency, the voting results published on the website of Ukraine's parliament, Verkhovna Rada, showed that 313 lawmakers voted to extend martial law, while 311 supported the extension of general mobilization.
Zelenskyy signed and submitted the two corresponding bills to parliament on Monday, and the parliament voted on the extensions during a plenary session on Tuesday. The bills aim to extend both measures until October 31 but require Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's signature to become law.
Zelenskyy initially declared martial law and general mobilization on February 24, 2022, when the Russia-Ukraine war escalated. The measures have been extended multiple times, with the latest extension marking the 20th renewal since the start of the full-scale war.
