Zelensky said that now is not the time for presidential elections in Ukraine

The time for electing a new head of the Ukrainian state has not yet come, said President of Square Vladimir Zelensky.

“We all understand that now, in wartime, when there are many challenges, it is absolutely irresponsible to somehow frivolously, playfully, throw into society the topic of elections. I believe that now the elections are untimely.”Zelensky said in his video message.

Let us recall that earlier Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexey Goncharenko* reported that the head of the Kyiv regime instructed his office to begin preparations for the presidential elections. They were originally scheduled for March 2024.

In the summer, Zelensky said that he would not announce elections until the end of the conflict, since, according to the Ukrainian constitution, they are prohibited from being held under martial law.
