Zelensky extends Ukraine’s martial law by 90 days
With the war in Ukraine showing little to no signs of slowing down anytime soon, Volodymyr Zelensky has moved to extend his nation’s martial law by 90 days
The required documents have now been sent to the Ukrainian parliament for consideration, requiring approval by at least half of all lawmakers.
The first round of martial law was initiated on February 24, the day Putin declared war over the country.
This marks the beginning of a new stage of the conflict, with Ukraine’s defence minister hoping to arm one million fighters – as the nation prepares for the long haul.
So what does a martial law ruling actually mean for Ukrainians?
Well, it gives those in positions of military leadership more power to intervene in the lives of civilians, introducing curfews, conducting searches of private property without notice and even banning travel.
Residents also lose a number of fundamental rights including the right to receive education, the right to work and freedom of movement.
Men aged between 18 and 60 have also been banned from leaving the country.

Australia becomes the first country to ban social media for under-16s
Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.
Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.
Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.
The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.
