ISTANBUL (AA) - Ukraine’s parliament on Wednesday approved two bills further extending the country’s mobilization and martial law for another 90 days.
The adoption of the draft bills was announced by Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak, who said on Telegram that the bill on mobilization passed with the support of 346 deputies, while the bill on extending martial law was adopted with 347 votes in favor.
Zheleznyak further said that each bill received one vote against it.
The two bills, submitted to Ukraine's parliament by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday, proposed extending martial law in Ukraine from May 9 to Aug. 6.
Zelenskyy first declared martial law and general mobilization on Feb. 24, 2022, when Russia launched its "special military operation" in Ukraine.
The measures have been extended multiple times since then.
