Zelensky announced when elections may take place in Ukraine.

In Ukraine, it is currently impossible to hold elections, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Tuesday, February 4, in an interview with Piers Morgan. He commented on the Kremlin's claims regarding his "illegitimacy."     "As for my legitimacy, I was elected by 73% of the population of the country. And you know, I have always said that I am open to any elections. Yes, during wartime, there can be no elections. It is necessary to change the legislation, the constitution, etc. And that poses significant challenges. But there are also non-legal and very human challenges," he emphasized.   Zelensky noted that soldiers, millions of citizens in temporarily occupied territories, and those abroad will not have the opportunity to vote in elections if they were to take place now.   "Undoubtedly, the war will end, the hot phase of the war will conclude, and when the state of martial law ends, elections will definitely be scheduled. This is necessary. We are defending democracy, so this is essential," the president added.   He also highlighted that Ukraine cannot currently lift martial law because that is what Russian dictator Vladimir Putin desires. If martial law were to be lifted, most Ukrainian soldiers would return home to their families.   "Who will protect us? What security guarantees does Ukraine have? Why wouldn’t Russia come again to occupy our lands? They will! Without security guarantees, this is impossible, so we need answers to these questions," Zelensky explained.   Recall that the United States wants Ukraine to hold presidential and parliamentary elections, possibly by the end of 2025, especially if Kyiv can negotiate a ceasefire with the Russian Federation in the coming months.   Zelensky previously stated that Ukraine will hold fair elections, but only after a just conclusion of the war with Russia.   Putin made a statement regarding negotiations with Zelensky
