Poroshenko promises not to extend martial law in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that he did not plan to extend martial law unless there was a large scale attack from Russia.

"Unless there is a large-scale aggression, an intrusion of Russian military forces into Ukrainian territory beyond the line of conflict and the Crimea administrative border, martial law will not be prolonged," the Ukrainian president said.

Poroshenko imposed martial law in some areas of the country for a month after Russia captured three Ukrainian vessels in the Kerch Strait on November 25, Reuters recalls.
