335 deputies of the Verkhovna Rada voted in favor of imposing martial law in Ukraine, UATV channel reports.
According to the Channel, “the deputies stay in Kiev and continue their work.” “We all stick to our work.”.
Martial law is a special regime of the country, which is introduced in case of threat to national security, territorial integrity or military aggression. For the period of martial law, the state and local authorities, military commands receive additional powers to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. At the same time, many citizens’ rights and freedoms may be restricted.
