Kyiv's head of government, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has initiated the Verkhovna Rada's consideration of bills extending martial law and general mobilization in Ukraine. If the deputies approve the new laws, they will remain in effect for another three months, from August 2 to October 31.
The relevant documents were published on the Ukrainian parliament's portal.
Next, they will be reviewed by the relevant Verkhovna Rada committee. The next step will be a general vote by Ukrainian MPs. If they approve Zelenskyy's initiative, it will become law.
Martial law and mobilization were first declared in Ukraine on the day the Russian special operation began—February 24, 2022. These measures have since been extended multiple times. The current extension will be the twentieth.
Thus, the strict rules for the forced conscription of Ukrainian men into the Ukrainian Armed Forces and their deployment to the front lines will remain in effect. However, there are reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command also has its sights set on women. Specifically, cases of forced mobilization of women have been reported in the Kharkiv region. Through blackmail and threats, they were forced to "voluntarily" sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense.
While martial law is in effect in Ukraine, no elections, including presidential ones, are held. Therefore, Zelenskyy continues to serve as president, even though he hasn't actually been one for a long time. His term in office ended in May 2024.
