In an interview with the media on the 18th, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that if the US and Russia demand that Ukraine hold elections during the war, he will run for re-election as president. In an interview with the American Broadcasting Corporation on the same day, Zelensky said that whether to hold a presidential election must first comply with the choices of the Ukrainian people. If the US and Russia insist that Ukraine hold elections during the war, then Ukraine still needs at least 60 days of cease-fire. Ukraine will do its best to amend laws and prepare the necessary security infrastructure during the cease-fire period. Zelensky also said that it is necessary to ensure that Ukrainian military personnel “can and must” participate in the election.
