Ukraine’s parliament has voted to extend martial law and military mobilization for another three months, prolonging the wartime measures until August sixth.
Under Ukraine’s constitution, elections cannot be held during martial law, a provision that remains in effect despite external calls, including from Russia and the United States, for a timeline on a future vote.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose five-year term was originally due to end in May last year, and even raised the prospect of a temporary United Nations-backed government to lead Ukraine to elections.
