As of now, President Volodymyr Zelensky does not plan to announce presidential elections or a referendum on a possible peace deal with Russia on Feb. 24, a source in the President’s Office familiar with the matter told the Kyiv Independent on Feb. 11.
The comment came after the Financial Times reported that Kyiv was preparing to hold both votes this spring and that Zelensky could unveil the plan on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
“He wasn’t planning to,” the source said when asked whether the president would make such an announcement on Feb. 24. “When there’s no security, there’s nothing else.”
Reminder their constitution doesn’t allow elections during war, for good reason - how tf are you supposed to vote when you’re being bombed?
Which timeline is this… 24 hours after Trump gets elected? Or the too weak two weeks when Trump was supposed to get Putin to agree to a ceasefire? US needs to get its house in order.
Note that some days ago FT published an article titled " Zelenskyy planning elections in Ukraine and vote on peace deal".
Love a permanent state of exception.
Russia can end that state whenever they want.
Yeah, let’s give Russia a chance to steal the election.
“They’re going to steal the elections so we cancelled them” will be Trump’s go-to in a couple of months.
