U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker is planning to travel to Ukraine, visit Kyiv and one of the Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea, the U.S.-government funded Voice of America (VOA) has reported.

Volker, responding to a question about the correctness of imposing martial law in 10 regions of Ukraine, said: I think there are specific reasons why the Ukrainian government decided to impose martial law in a limited format - 30 days and only in several regions of the country, so that it does not affect the presidential election, but allowed the mobilization of conscripts, the movement of military forces.

I think it is important that Ukraine be a strong and stable democracy, which does not require martial law as a long-term solution, he added, speaking in an interview with VOA.
