On October 26, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky submitted bills to the Verkhovna Rada to extend martial law and general mobilization for another 90 days, until January 29, 2027.
Reasons for Extending Martial Law
According to the information released by the President, the extension of martial law and mobilization is a necessary step due to the current situation in the country. In light of the ongoing aggression from Russia and threats to national security, these measures are aimed at ensuring Ukraine's defense capabilities.
Assessment of the Situation in Ukraine
Ukraine continues to face a complex military situation that requires the state to be in a constant state of readiness for defense. The continuation of mobilization will allow for the engagement of additional resources to support the armed forces and ensure stability in regions most affected by the conflict.
Next Steps
Following the submission of the bills to the Verkhovna Rada, discussions and voting are expected. If approved, the new terms of martial law and mobilization will come into effect, impacting the state's further actions in the military sphere.
