Ukraine is not ruling out holding elections in the near future (after a full ceasefire is established), The Economist writes, citing government sources.
“Government sources say that Mr. Zelensky called a meeting last week to instruct his team to organize a vote after the full ceasefire, which the Americans believe they can implement by the end of April (Easter Sunday, April 20),” the article says.
It is indicated that the first confirmation may appear on the eve of or on May 5, when the parliament is to vote on the extension of martial law, which expires on May 8.
As reported, Zelenskyy himself has repeatedly stated that elections are impossible during the war. Thus, on March 12, he said at a briefing: “After the war is over, martial law will be lifted, and after it is lifted, elections will be held in accordance with Ukrainian law. No one will postpone anything on purpose.”
