The Ukrainian parliament has extended martial law and conscription for another three months, until August 23, MPs said today.
President Volodymyr Zelensky first imposed the measure on February 24, hours after the Russian invasion.
The martial law gives expanded rights to the military and restricts civil liberties such as the right to assembly.
Men aged 18 to 60 who are in good physical condition are banned from leaving the country and are required to participate in fighting against the Russians.
Several MPs confirmed today via Telegram that the extension of martial law, which Zelensky had recently proposed, was approved for until August 23.
One day later, on August 24, Ukraine traditionally celebrates its Independence Day.
