Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has submitted two bills to the country's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, proposing the extension of martial law and mobilisation in Ukraine.
The bills, numbered 9259 and 9260, do not have an available text yet, making it uncertain when the deadline for their extension will be.
The martial law has been in effect in Ukraine since 24 February 2022, and it was last extended until 20 May. The submission of these bills comes amid escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as the former has accused the latter of amassing troops and weapons along their shared border. The move is seen as a precautionary measure to prepare Ukraine for any potential military conflict.
