Prehistory:
- In a recent interview, Trump said that “it’s time” for Ukraine to hold presidential elections.
- In response, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi assured that he is “always ready”, but emphasized that this is possible only under the condition of a complete ceasefire, which the United States must negotiate directly with Russia.
- On December 11, Zelensky announced that, following the appropriate signals from the United States, he asked people’s deputies to prepare legislative changes regarding the possibility of holding elections during martial law.
- At the same time, the Vice-Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Oleksandr Kornienko, said that currently there are no “drafts” or specific legislative initiatives in the parliament regarding the organization of elections in conditions of war.
