"Late on Wednesday, Zelensky told reporters that he has no plans to announce the schedule for any upcoming presidential elections, despite pressure from the U.S. to do so, adding that the country will move toward elections when all the relevant security guarantees are in place. The Ukrainian president's comments came just after The Financial Times published a report claiming that Zelensky did in fact plan to announce election dates during a scheduled Feb. 24 address to mark four years since Russia first invaded."
"On Thursday, Bloomberg reported on a memo between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the U.S that suggests Russia is prepared to again embrace the dollar for trade, foregoing efforts to break away from the US financial system. As Bloomberg's Jonathan Tirone wrote, Western officials familiar with the memo told us that some of Russia's proposals appear to be crafted specifically to deepen the divisions between the US and Ukraine's European allies."
President Donald Trump warned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky must move quickly or risk missing a deal opportunity with Russia, insisting Russia wants to make a deal and Zelensky "has to move." Zelensky said he has no plans to announce a presidential election schedule despite U.S. pressure and asserted elections will proceed only when relevant security guarantees are in place. Zelensky rejected using Feb. 24 as a political date. Bloomberg reported a memo indicating Russia may embrace the dollar again for trade and that some proposals aim to widen divides between the U.S. and Ukraine's European allies.
