President Zelensky Initiated Extension of Martial Law: New Terms and Details 0 13

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has initiated another extension of the special legal regime in the country. This decision is expected to be supported by the parliament, which has become a tradition since the beginning of the full-scale war. Earlier, the head of state stated that the special regime would continue until reliable security guarantees for Ukraine are obtained.

Bills for Extension Already Registered

Relevant bills have already been registered in the Verkhovna Rada. According to the established procedure, after being submitted by the President, these documents must be approved by the members of parliament at a plenary session. The new extension period will last 90 days, covering the period from May 4 to August 2.

President's Position: Security First

Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly emphasized that the issue of lifting martial law is not being considered until the situation in the country is fully stabilized. Even in the event of any agreements on a ceasefire, mobilization activities and the special regime will remain in place. This is necessary until Ukraine receives clear and legally binding international security guarantees.

Rules to Follow Under Martial Law

The special regime of martial law entails a number of important restrictions that every citizen must remember. For example, the curfew prohibits being outside without special permits, and law enforcement officers have the right to demand identification in public places. There may also be restrictions on entering or leaving certain areas and special regulation of communications.

The President's initiative to extend martial law clearly demonstrates that the state maintains maximum readiness for any security challenges. The next important step will be the vote in the parliamentary session hall, which is expected in the coming days.
