The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that the country could be ready to hold national elections within a 60 to 90-day period, provided that the security of the process can be fully guaranteed amid the ongoing war. This statement by the Ukrainian leader once again raises the possibility of an electoral process that has been on hold since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, as martial law prohibits elections. Zelensky has repeatedly indicated his willingness to hold elections if certain conditions are met, such as international funding, the participation of observers, and the ability for soldiers on the front lines and millions of refugees abroad to cast their votes. The reference to "guaranteed security" within this two-to-three-month timeframe suggests a possible window if the military situation permits.
