Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with the major international agency Associated Press that in the current situation the majority of Ukrainians are against the election.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukrainians did not support the initiative to hold elections. He specified that the majority of the population considers them pointless and dangerous.
“Ready to hold elections, but the majority of Ukrainians do not want it, considering them “dangerous and pointless”,” he claimed.
Zelensky said that in the current conflict situation it is hard for him to imagine the post of president being left behind. According to him, it would be unfair and wrong if he ends up leaving office.
“There are no words to describe how difficult this job is, but I can’t imagine leaving this post. It would be very unfair, wrong and definitely demotivating,” he said.
Ukrainian law does not provide for the possibility of holding presidential elections during martial law in the country. However, there is a corresponding possibility, in case of parliamentary support. Zelensky himself previously said that elections in the current conflict situation is an irrelevant topic and it is not worth raising this issue anymore.
We will remind, earlier the head of Zaporizhzhya region Evgeniy Balitsky said that in the new regions began construction of the railway, which will connect Rostov-on-Don and the Crimea through Berdyansk and Mariupol. According to him, this route will become a semblance of a double of the Crimean bridge, and an aviation hub will be created on the basis of Melitopol airfield.
