Zelenskyy says Ukraine ready for elections if US, allies ensure security
AI Summary
In December 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is ready to hold elections within three months if the US and other allies can ensure the security of the voting process. This declaration came in response to US President Donald Trump's suggestion that Ukraine was using the ongoing war with Russia as an excuse to avoid elections. Wartime elections are currently forbidden under Ukrainian law, and Zelenskyy's term expired the previous year. Zelenskyy said he would ask parliament to prepare proposals for legislation that could allow elections during martial law, requesting assistance from the US and European partners to guarantee election security. Earlier in the year, Ukraine's parliament affirmed the legitimacy of Zelenskyy's continued wartime presidency.
