  • Ukraine's parliament has extended martial law and general mobilization for another 90 days.
  • The decision aligns with the Ukrainian president's decree and continues the measures in place since Russia's full-scale invasion.
  • Martial law and mobilization were initially set to expire but have been repeatedly prolonged by the Verkhovna Rada.

Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, has voted to extend martial law and general mobilization for an additional 90 days. The votes, held on July 14, 2026, saw overwhelming support, with 313 lawmakers backing the extension of martial law and 311 approving the continuation of general mobilization.

These extensions are in accordance with decrees issued by the Ukrainian president. Consequently, martial law and general mobilization will now remain in effect until October 31, 2026. This marks the latest in a series of prolongations since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Following the invasion, martial law was declared across the country on the same day, alongside the announcement of general mobilization. Initially intended to last until March 26, 2022, these measures have been subsequently extended every three months by the parliament to address the ongoing conflict.
