Russia ordered troops into eastern Ukraine.
The security council of the country recommended the measures to the parliament.
The state of emergency in Ukraine can be extended for another 30 days, according to Oleksiy Danilov, the top security official.
The Financial Times reported that it will involve more security measures. It makes it easier for authorities to impose a curfew or declare martial law.
The parliament of Ukraine voted to redistribute funds from any part of the budget to use for national security or defense.
The state of emergency would mean bringing in measures to strengthen the security of public places and locations that are critical for the public.
There can be restrictions on the movement of transportation. Danilov said that this can include inspections of documents.
He said that there would be stricter rules in the regions closest to Russia and Belarus, as well as areas of Ukraine that are under Russian control.
Conflict with Russia has led to a state of emergency in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Russia recognized the claims of Russia-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine and declared them to be independent.
Russian President Vladimir ordered troops into the region in a possible lead-up to a major attack.
