Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Tuesday that he is willing to initiate a legislative reform that would allow for the organization of presidential and parliamentary elections before the end of the war.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he is ready to organize elections, but emphasizes the need to ensure their security in the context of the war with Russia. This position represents a change from previous statements, when Ukrainian officials claimed that elections would only take place after the conflict ended.

Zelensky urged parliament to draft legislative proposals to allow for changes to the electoral law during wartime. According to martial law, elections are prohibited until it is lifted. A recent poll shows that only 20.3% of Ukrainians would vote for Zelensky, in the context of a recent corruption scandal.
