Zelenskiy Ready for Elections with Security Guarantees
President Zelenskiy of Ukraine said he is ready to hold elections soon.
He asked the US and Europe to help keep the voting safe during the war.
He wants to change some laws to make elections possible while Ukraine is still at war.
He thinks this could happen in the next two or three months if everything is safe.
Some people, like Donald Trump, have asked why Ukraine hasn't had elections during the war, and Zelenskiy is answering by saying he is ready.
Many Ukrainians don't want elections during the war, but they also want new leaders.
President Zelenskiy expressed readiness for elections in Ukraine within 60-90 days if security is guaranteed by the US and European allies.
He called on the US to help ensure the security of the election, dismissing suggestions he is clinging to power.
Zelenskiy asked parliament to prepare legislation for elections during martial law.
His statement follows comments by Donald Trump questioning Ukraine's democracy and calling for elections.
Polls show Ukrainians are against wartime elections but want new political faces.
