Ukrainian lawmakers extended martial law and general mobilization for another 90 days today. The Verkhovna Rada approved these measures after President Volodymyr Zelensky submitted the bills yesterday. This extension comes as U.S. President Donald Trump says he expects to receive peace proposals for the Ukrainian conflict soon.
According to parliament member Yaroslav Zheleznyak, both martial law and mobilization will remain in effect until August 6. The current martial law prevents Ukraine from holding parliamentary or presidential elections. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov criticized the decision, claiming Ukrainian authorities aim to maintain their "unstable structure."
Peskov also mentioned that the Ukrainian leadership still prohibits any negotiations. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently stated his condition for implementing a ceasefire with Ukraine. The timing of these developments suggests continued tensions between the two nations despite international pressure for resolution.
