KIEV, March 21 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a bill extending martial law in Ukraine, the press service of Ukraine’s parliament said.
The legislation extended the current martial law for 30 days starting March 26.
Kiev imposed martial law after Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine on Feb 24.
According to UN estimates, at least 902 civilians have been killed and around 1,459 injured in Ukraine since Russia launched a war on its western neighbor.
The UN has said the real figures are likely to be much higher as conditions on the ground make verification difficult.
UN data shows over 3.38 million refugees have fled from Ukraine since the war began, with more than 2 million taken in by neighboring Poland, close to 530,000 by Romania, and over 362,000 by Moldova.
Some 6.5 million are estimated to be internally displaced in the country. — NNN-AGENCIES
