Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has submitted draft laws to the Verkhovna Rada, proposing to extend martial law and general mobilization in the country for another 90 days, from May 9 to August 6, 2025. The bills were supported by 347 MPs for extending martial law and 346 MPs for general mobilization, with one vote against each bill. The extension of these measures, first introduced on February 24, 2022, has been a recurring action due to the ongoing conflict with Russia. They have been continuously renewed to address the security situation. The parliament's decision to extend martial law and mobilization affects the timing of elections, with both the U.S. and Russia pushing for new elections. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the move, stating that Ukraine is trying to 'preserve its unstable structure.' Zelensky's term ended in 2024, but elections cannot be held during martial law.
