KIEV, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed Tuesday that the country's current martial law and general mobilization, which expire on Feb. 8, be extended for another 90 days.

The parliament's press service reported that the presidential bills seeking to prolong both measures have been submitted to the parliament.

Lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak wrote on Telegram that the parliamentary defense committee has already approved the bills, which will now be put to a vote.

Martial law and mobilization were first imposed in Ukraine in February 2022 following the outbreak of the full-scale conflict with Russia. Since then, the parliament voted 13 times to extend these measures. Enditem
