Zelenskyy says he is open to elections if US ensures security

Zelenskyy seeks US and European security guarantees to hold elections amid war, aiming for a vote within 60 to 90 days if conditions are met, stressing legal and safety challenges.

  • On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine could hold elections within 60–90 days if security is guaranteed by the United States and European partners, adding `I am ready for the elections`.
  • Under Ukrainian law, elections cannot be held during martial law, which postponed the March 2024 ballot, while U.S. President Donald Trump raised the issue publicly, and Zelenskyy said, `I am ready for the elections`.
  • Practical hurdles include how people in occupied territories would vote, Zelenskyy asking Ukrainian lawmakers to prepare voting procedures for front-line troops and legislative changes.
  • After shuttling between European capitals, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters, `We are working today and will continue tomorrow . I think we will hand it over tomorrow.`
  • With the aggressive Russian war ongoing, European Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper said elections require right conditions, while Washington's proposals and security guarantees remain sticking points for Ukraine's allies.
