As the Associated Press notes, citing Zelensky's words in the interview, "the war has made it impossible to hold Ukraine's presidential election, which was originally scheduled for March under the constitution."

"Although Zelenskiy said he was ready to hold the election, most Ukrainians are not, as they consider such a vote 'dangerous and meaningless' with the war raging around them," the newspaper writes.

AP points out that another question arises: "how long will Zelenskiy himself be able to cope with the role of leader of a country at war?"

According to him, the newspaper writes, "there are no words to describe how difficult the job is, but he also cannot imagine leaving the post."

"You honestly can't do that," he said. - It would be very unfair, wrong and certainly demotivating."
