Zelensky: Ukraine Will Hold Elections After Security Guarantees, Ceasefire

Ukraine will only hold elections once it has security guarantees in place and a ceasefire with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday, pushing back at a report his administration was under US pressure to hold fresh ballots.

“We will move to elections when all the necessary security guarantees are in place,” Zelensky told reporters in a voice note. “I have said it’s very simple to do: establish a ceasefire, and there will be elections,” he added. (AFP)
