    Zelenskyy calls for martial law and mobilisation to be extended

    Martial law and general mobilisation in Ukraine could be extended for another 90 days after Volodymyr Zelenskyy submitted a proposal to lawmakers, The Kyiv Independent reports.

    The president first declared martial law and general mobilisation in the country after Russia launched its invasion on 24 February 2022.

    The measures have been repeatedly extended since then and last month the Ukrainian government submitted to parliament an amended version of its bill to tighten army mobilisation rules to ensure the country has a sufficient fighting force.

    Mr Zelenskyy's new proposal would extend martial law and general mobilisation until 14 May.

    Under martial law, Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 are not allowed to leave the country as they may be called up to join the army.
