Zelensky Discusses Elections Amid War

President Trump has called for you to step down.

Now, you have said that i- if Russia gave Ukraine sixty days

of peace, your country would organize elections.

I wanna be very clear, President Zelensky, are you willing to

step down as the leader of your country?

We need half a year, half a year after this war

will end to prepare for elections.

This is not only the law, this is the security measures.

But it's after the war. I said what we need minimum,

uh, if we don't have ending the war, and if Trump and

Putin want me

to make elections, of course, first it's a, it's a choice of our

people. But if they really want, I said,

"Give us minimum sixty days of ceasefire

without any kind of other negotiations, just sixty days,

and we will try our best to change our law.

We will try our best to prepare some infrastructure, some

security infrastructure." But trust me, it's,

it looks

absolutely dangerous and unbelievable because we

need fair choice. We need that our soldiers will have

possibility to vote because it's, it's, it truths.

They, they have to vote because they really

defend

our country. And that's what, what I said.

If you think that I don't want elections, it's not truth, and it's not fair,

and everybody understand it in the world.

I mean, the minimum in Europe, and I'm sure in the United States,

it's goes... Yeah, please. Sorry.
