Breaking News: Zelensky Demands Security Guarantees for Ukraine Elections
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for security guarantees from international partners, including the US, to hold elections in the country. Zelensky made the statement in response to US President Donald Trump's claims that Ukraine was using the war to avoid holding elections.
Elections could be held in the next 60 to 90 days if security for the vote is guaranteed, Zelensky said. He emphasized that the decision to hold elections ultimately depends on the Ukrainian people.
Zelensky's five-year term as president was due to end in May 2024, but elections have been suspended since martial law was declared after Russia's invasion. The Ukrainian leader is seeking proposals to change the law and ensure a secure voting process.
Zelensky's comments come as Ukraine prepares to hold elections, which have been delayed due to the ongoing conflict. The international community is watching the situation closely, with many countries eager to see Ukraine's democratic process restored.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
