President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the issue of holding elections during the war is being actively raised by Russia, and it has also begun to appear in discussions in the United States. At the same time, none of the Western partners has officially initiated this issue. He said this during the forum "Ukraine. Year 2025" forum, UNN correspondent reports.
This is a wave, I think it is serious and it is part of the dangerous steps to put pressure on Ukraine in some way and to prepare relevant documents that would suit someone else, but not us. Therefore, we need to, as they say, keep the line and be strong, and fight for our independence, because this is the question that will be raised
In addition, the President emphasized that security remains a key issue that makes it impossible to hold democratic elections in the current environment.
