Context
The Economist, citing sources in the Ukrainian government, reported that Zelensky convened a meeting last week to instruct his team to organize a vote after a complete ceasefire, which Americans believe could be introduced by the end of April. The authors point out that sources differ on the exact timing, "but most say Zelensky is aiming for the summer."
Several BBC Ukraine sources in the government and the Presidential Office stated that there was no meeting on organizing elections in Ukraine after a complete ceasefire in the summer, and Zelensky did not give such an order.
In March, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that elections in the country would be held after the end of the war.
