Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview published on Thursday that he would be ready to step down after the war with Russia is over.
“If we finish the war with the Russians, yes, I am ready not to go [for elections] because it’s not my goal, elections,” Zelensky told the Axios website in a video interview.
“I wanted very much, in a very difficult period of time, to be with my country, help my country. My goal is to finish the war.”
Zelensky said he would ask Ukraine’s parliament to organise elections if a ceasefire was reached.
A presidential election due in 2024 was suspended in line with martial law, introduced in Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Zelensky, a former comedian, was elected in 2019.
Russia has repeatedly questioned Zelensky’s legitimacy as a leader as a result.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was inaugurated as President of Ukraine on May 20, 2019, after winning the election he declared martial law, prohibiting elections under Article 19 of Ukraine’s Constitution
He was only elected because he ran on the platform of seeking peace with Russia. He’s obviously a liar and phony and now a dictator ruling under martial law. Him saying he’ll leave after the war is over is a joke because he knows the West wants to continue this war indefinitely.
He’s got more money from U.S. Taxpayers stashed than he can ever spend. But in the end, he’ll always be just an azzhole.
that could be one year or 20 years.
Looks like Little Zelya has one weird trick for staying “president” of The Ukraine...
Keep in mind that is a false statement. Zelensky was elected by the Ukrainian people and is serving in accordance with Ukrainian law.
Sounds like SaltPetrosius writes apology speeches for Jimmy Kimmel.
"Volodymyr Zelenskyy was inaugurated as President of Ukraine on May 20, 2019, after winning the election he declared martial law, prohibiting elections under Article 19 of Ukraine’s Constitution."
Any moar weasel words for us, SaltPetrosius?
Nice try. Martial law was declared after the Russian invasion and approved by the parliament, as have been all of its extensions. If you have not noticed, Ukraine is at war, a normal reason for declaring martial law. Now let’s talk about the bogus elections of Putin.
You dislike him and yet you go to his posts, and comment on it !!! LOL.
You are just trying to keep reality out of Russia. This is no forum for your dislike for individuals who have a right to post here.
IF he were looting money from Ukraine you would not know about it. Your lies are not fooling others except other Russian bots.
OK, Jimmy.
Now let’s talk about the bogus elections of Putin.
As legitimate as Diaper Joe.
Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $16k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we're gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

“Hey,POGO163, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”
We have met the freeploader, and he is you, POGO163.
I see rlmorel's name all over the donor lists - but I can't seem to locate your name. 😉😂😂
Great to see you’ve shifted from UK propaganda to China propaganda.
Progress!
Sweaterman is not stepping down period. Narcissist’s are what they are and as long as they can milk the system they will.
Seriously frog_zeeper?
BBC proffered as evidence?
As convincing as Macron’s tranny showing doctored photos of herself pregnant.
froggy likes BBC, I’m told.
No. I have a specific dislike of FREELOADERS who incessantly spam this forum.
Which is a specific and accurate description of the poster “marcusmaximus” unless he/she/it has deliberately chosen to remain anonymous but is contributing.
You have no “right” to post here. Neither do I. And neither does a spam abusing poster like marcusmaximus either.
Do you understand?
This is a private enterprise. There IS no “right”. Do you get that, or is the concept of a “right” as we understand them to. be in America a foreign concept to you, as it would be to someone who is not American?
You may be a freeloader as well.
But if so, you likely restrict your freeloading to posting only (because I do not recall seeing your handle anywhere before this, given you are fairly new) which is acceptable. Inconsiderate and parasitical if you do not donate, but acceptable generally to both users on this forum, and the generosity of the owners of this forum.
😬
With the $6 billion that can’t be accounted for.

Modern-day martial law has been introduced two times in Ukraine; in 2018 for 30 days and an ongoing period since 24 February 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine that started on that date.
