Zelensky seeks way out with election proposal; Moscow changes the script again with Trump's team

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia and the United States have not discussed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s reported offer to hold elections in Ukraine if Western countries provide security guarantees. Kremlin indicated that this proposal is not on the agenda of Moscow–Washington contacts, underscoring how far apart the key players remain on basic conditions for Ukraine’s internal political process.
