On May 17, 2022, President Zelensky signed a decree extending martial law in Ukraine from May 25 for 90 days.

On May 18, Zelensky also submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law approving this decree: https://itd.rada.gov.ua/billInfo/Bills/Card/39638.

Now, according to the Constitution, the parliament must meet within two days and approve or reject the presidential decree.

There is no doubt that the decree will be approved by Parliament.
