Zelensky: ready to hold elections 'tomorrow' but impossible during war
In a CBS interview, President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would be ready to hold elections "tomorrow" if circumstances permitted, but that voting during active hostilities is impossible under Ukraine's Constitution, electoral law and the security situation. He also announced "difficult and unpopular" fiscal measures to close a wartime budget deficit and signaled openness to reciprocal de-escalation steps with Russia.
