"If partners, including our key partner in Washington, speak so much and so specifically about elections in Ukraine, about elections under martial law, then we must provide legal Ukrainian answers to every question and every doubt,"
"It is not easy, but pressure on this issue is definitely not what we need...Security challenges depend on partners, primarily America. Political and legal challenges must be answered by Ukraine. And they will be,"
"it's time"
A substantive discussion took place with members of Ukraine's parliament on the possibility of holding an election despite wartime legal restrictions. Strong security guarantees from Kyiv's allies, particularly the United States, were identified as necessary to make voting safe. Legal responses and potential legislation are to be developed to address questions about elections under martial law. A vote could follow in 60 to 90 days once adequate security guarantees are in place. US pressure for elections has intensified, while Ukrainian officials have resisted a US-drafted peace plan seen as favoring Russia amid ongoing negotiations.
