Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed laws providing for the extension of martial law and general mobilization.
This was reported by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yaroslav Zheleznyak in his Telegram channel.
How long have martial law and mobilization been extended in Ukraine?
According to Zheleznyak, the laws signed by Zelensky provide for the extension of martial law and general mobilization until February 7 next year.
Martial law was introduced in Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
The next day, the Ukrainian president signed a decree on general mobilization.
The continued extension of martial law made it impossible to hold elections.
This raised the question of the legitimacy of Zelensky, whose term of office expired in May.
In April, the President of Ukraine signed a law providing for a reduction in the age of mobilization from 27 to 25 years.
In October, Zelensky's office adviser Serhiy Leshchenko reported that the US was demanding that the age of mobilization be lowered to 18.
