Poroshenko announces end to martial law in Ukraine
KIEV, Dec 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on
Wednesday announced the end of a martial law in the country’s border regions,
which was introduced last month after Russia’s seizure of three of Kiev’s
navy vessels in the Sea of Azov.
“Today, right now, at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) the martial law ends. This is my
principal decision,” Poroshenko said during a live streamed military cabinet
meeting in Kiev.
