U.S.–Ukraine Relations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine could hold national elections within 60–90 days if the U.S. and European partners provide security guarantees and if Parliament enacts a legal framework to allow voting under martial law. He has asked lawmakers from his party to draft proposals to permit elections during wartime, a shift that follows President Trump’s public criticism that Ukraine risks ceasing to be a democracy without a vote.
