Elections in Ukraine are possible only after conditions improve

Presidential elections in Ukraine are possible only when circumstances allow it

Speaker. European Commissioner Anitta Hipper said that presidential elections in Ukraine could take place only when circumstances allow it, The Russian aggressive war against Ukraine continues and creates objective obstacles to the democratic process.

According to her, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a democratically elected president, and any elections should be held only under conditions that guarantee security, legality and the possibility of citizen participation:

«For now, Russia's aggressive war continues. President Zelenskyy is a democratically elected leader, and elections should be held when conditions allow for them.».

This position fully coincides with the norms of Ukrainian legislation, which prohibits the holding of national elections during martial law.
