Overview

• The Verkhovna Rada published the draft laws and assigned them Nos. 14128 (martial law) and 14129 (general mobilisation).
• The proposals would prolong the wartime measures for 90 days starting November 5.
• Both texts have been forwarded to the relevant parliamentary committee ahead of planned consideration in the chamber on October 21.
• Ukraine most recently extended these authorities in July, setting their current expiry for November 5.
• Russian state media reported this would be the 17th extension and noted that repeated renewals have meant no national or local elections.
