After Trump nudge, Zelensky agrees to hold election in Ukraine amid Russia war, sets this condition
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to hold elections if Donald Trump believed they were necessary but insisted a ceasefire and security guarantees would be required during voting. Speaking to the Coalition of the Willing, he urged 34 partner countries to rapidly move on releasing nearly $200 billion in frozen Russian assets, calling it essential for shared security. Zelensky said Kyiv’s updated 20-point peace plan had been submitted to Washington and stressed that approval by the US Congress would provide legally binding guarantees for Ukraine’s future. His remarks followed Trump’s claim that Ukraine was avoiding elections by citing the war.
