Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenskyy plans to announce a decision regarding the holding of elections in the country this month.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that this information was released by foreign media outlets, citing Ukrainian and European officials involved in the planning of the electoral process.
According to the reports, this step was discussed during negotiations between representatives of the United States and Ukraine aimed at achieving peace. The holding of elections is being considered as one of the potential pathways toward resolving the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, the Russian side has stated that they are waiting for the continuation of negotiations with Ukraine. Currently, the international community is closely monitoring the statement expected from official Kyiv on this matter.
The issue of holding elections in Ukraine has been a subject of intense debate due to the martial law currently in effect in the country. Under the Ukrainian constitution, national elections are typically suspended during periods of active conflict and martial law. However, international partners and various political stakeholders have increasingly discussed the necessity of renewing the democratic mandate as part of a broader post-conflict stabilization strategy. The potential involvement of US President Donald Trump's administration in facilitating these discussions highlights the shifting diplomatic landscape regarding the regional security architecture.
