On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a military operation in Ukraine, calling its goals “protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years”, as well as “demilitarization and denazification” of the neighboring country.
Zelensky imposed martial law in the country and announced mobilization. Since then, martial law, which provides for restrictions on entry and exit, has been repeatedly extended, most recently at the end of May. Then it was extended for three months at once – until August 23. In mid-August, the Ukrainian leader submitted to the Rada a bill on the next extension of martial law in the country.
