Kiev: Ukraine has extended martial law and the mobilization order by another 90 days until the beginning of August, as the country continues to fend off the full-scale Russian invasion launched more than three years ago.
The two corresponding motions submitted by President Volodymyr Zelensky received the required two-thirds majority in parliament, Ukrainian media reported. Once signed by Zelensky, martial law will apply until August 6, after it was due to expire on May 9.
Former president Petro Poroshenko accused the government of rushing the extension through parliament, with almost one month left before the current martial law expires. (DPA)
