The Office of the President of Ukraine reacted to the high-profile publication of the Financial Times, which claims that the administration of Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Kyiv.
A source in the Office of the President informed Ukrinform about this.
Ukraine needs to hold presidential elections and a referendum on the peace agreement by May 15, 2026.
Otherwise, the US allegedly threatens to stop military aid and refuse security guarantees.
In principle, the Ukrainian authorities do not object to the democratic expression of will, but the main obstacle remains the daily Russian terror.
“If the Russians are killing every day, how can we announce or seriously consider the elections in the coming weeks? No one is against elections, but there must be security,” the President’s Office emphasized.
The OP recalled the tragedy that happened just this night in the Kharkiv region, where four people, including three children under the age of two, were killed as a result of Russian shelling.
The authorities emphasize that voting in conditions of constant attacks on civilian infrastructure is physically impossible and dangerous for millions of citizens.
It will be recalled that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, announced his readiness to hold elections in the country, responding to calls from the US President Donald Trump.
Also, the first vice-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Oleksandr Kornienko, announced the holding of a meeting of a large working group dealing with the issue of organizing elections.
