Zelensky Proposes Extending Martial Law Until August 2026; Ukraine Joins NPT Review Conference in New York

President Zelensky submitted proposals to parliament to extend Ukraine's martial law and military mobilization for another 90 days — until August 2, 2026. The extension follows a series of previous 90-day renewals throughout the war and requires Verkhovna Rada approval. The martial law regime governs military conscription, movement restrictions, and other wartime emergency powers. Separately, Zelensky approved Ukraine's delegation for the 2026 NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) Review Conference running April 27 to May 22, 2026 in New York City, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Oleksandr Mishchenko. Ukraine's participation carries special significance given Russia's persistent nuclear threats throughout the war and ongoing safety risks at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant — where IAEA experts maintain a rotating mission. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly called for the NPT framework to be enforced against nuclear-armed states that threaten non-nuclear signatories.
