Ukraine extends martial law, restricting freedoms and delaying elections

dn.se (Swedish)

Ukraine's martial law has been extended for another 90 days, continuing restrictions on citizens' freedoms and consolidating government power. This extension, the nineteenth since the full-scale invasion, imposes curfews and travel bans for men aged 23-60. Centralized news broadcasts and the postponement of elections, last held in 2019, are also consequences. The ongoing war and displacement of nearly ten million citizens, alongside military conscription, make holding elections challenging. Public understanding of these delays is high, with only 12% favoring immediate elections.
