Martial law in Ukraine
Martial law in Ukraine is a special legal regime imposed in the event of a threat to national security.
The introduction of martial law was proposed by the National Security and Defense Council, approved by the President, and approved by a decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law on 24 February 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Speaking on television shortly before 7 a.m. he said that able-bodied men from 18–60 years old were not allowed to leave the country as the country began a general mobilization of all reserve forces.[1]
On February 26, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko declared a curfew from 5pm to 8am every day to expose Russian subversives.[2] The curfew was lifted on February 28 after a two-day search for Russian commando forces.[3]
