In Ukraine under attack by Russia, martial law and the mobilization of the army have been extended by parliament for another 90 days. The two measures will therefore initially apply until 19 February 2023.
Nearly 300 MPs voted for the fourth extension since the Russian attack on February 24. 226 votes would have been needed.
Restricted right to demonstrate
Martial law gives the military extensive rights and restricts civil liberties such as the right to demonstrate. Many experts see the duration of the state of war as an indicator of how long Kiev is currently preparing for fighting.
Missile Impact “No Alliance Matter”
Meanwhile, after the missile strike in Poland with two fatalities, a possible NATO alliance was feared, but it did not materialize: according to the military alliance, a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile hit Polish territory. It appears to have been “an unfortunate incident,” according to NATO.
The alliance case is governed by Article 5 of the 1949 North Atlantic Treaty. This provides for a collective response in the event of an “armed attack” on one or more member states. Security experts emphasize that this does not automatically result in a military counter-attack by the military alliance. Because the alliance case must be decided unanimously by the NATO countries. Even then, according to the NATO treaty, states can opt for means other than a military attack.
