Holding elections in Ukraine

When asked about his partners' statement regarding elections in Ukraine, Zelensky said that this issue is primarily the Ukrainian people's concern, not that of other states. He called stories about him clinging to power "inappropriate stories." At the same time, the president stressed that he is ready for elections. 

"Since this issue is being raised today by the US president and our European partners, I will answer very briefly: I am ready for elections. Not only that, but I am now asking the US and possibly the Europeans to ensure security for the elections. Ukraine will be ready for elections in the next 60 days. I personally have the will to do so," said the president.

Additionally, he asked MPs to prepare legislative proposals regarding the possibility of amending the legislative framework and election laws during martial law.
