2025 began with active internal parliamentary activities. While only one important piece of legislation was adopted, the parliamentary committees prepared several others for adoption in the upcoming months. The Verkhovna Rada has also extended martial law until 9 May 2025, maintaining existing restrictions, including aggression-related exceptions under the Law on Media.
