Quote from Zelenskyy: “Yes, of course, we are open for elections, we have to do [it in] safe circumstances. We need to work in the parliament, because during the war you can’t have elections.”

Details: Zelenskyy said that in order to hold elections, Ukraine needs security guarantees: “We need a truce everywhere – in the battlefield, in the sky, at sea – to make it possible for people to [have] open, democratic, legal elections.”
