Zelensky Considers Wartime Elections in Ukraine with U.S. and European Security Guarantees
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced his readiness to hold elections within the next 60 to 90 days, contingent upon security guarantees from the United States and European allies. This statement follows remarks by President Trump, who suggested it was time for Ukraine to conduct elections. Zelensky's term officially ended in 2024, but elections have been postponed due to martial law, which was declared following Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Ukrainian leader emphasized the need for security, legislative adjustments, and provisions for soldiers to vote. Despite the ongoing conflict, Zelensky is seeking international support to facilitate the electoral process.
