Zelensky refused to hold elections until peace is concluded with Russia.
“Elchi” reports that President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine will be ready to hold elections after the conflict with Russia ends, not after a temporary ceasefire. His words were quoted in the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
“The real question is when can we hold elections? They will definitely be held after the war ends, not during a temporary ceasefire,” Zelensky said.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, Zelensky stated that he was ready to hold elections in the country only if a two-month ceasefire was achieved. However, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov stated that the Ukrainian leadership wants to use the 60 days not for preparing for new presidential elections, but for rearming the army and falsifying the results of the popular vote.
On February 24, Zelensky noted that he “is not serving voluntarily in his first term.” He emphasized that his presidential term was extended due to the start of the conflict. Zelensky also noted that he would run for a second term if the conflict with Russia continues.
