Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is making plans to seek reelection and restore elections in his country, as his ratings climbed after his contentious White House meeting with President Donald Trump, according to a new report.
The Economist, quoting Ukrainian government sources, reported Sunday that Zelenskyy called a meeting last week to discuss organizing a vote after a full ceasefire, expected by the American side in late April, is reached with Russia.
This means the Ukrainians could confirm an election before or by May 5, the deadline for a parliamentary vote on whether to extend martial law in the nation, which will expire on May 8.
After that, sources in the country say Zelenskyy is aiming for an election in the summer. Under Ukrainian law, at least 60 days are required for campaigning, putting the earliest election date in early July.
Other sources, though, say the campaign will have to go on for at least three months, the time election authorities have told the Ukrainian Parliament that is required to reconstitute voter lists at a time of war.

unreal. So he’s admitting he’s not holding elections because he’ll lose!
Why? If he doesn’t like the outcome, he’ll just invalidate.

I support Trump, but in the cases of Greenland, Ukraine and Canada, his comments didn’t help us with their public’s opinions.
That must be your picture did your boyfriend take it?
Stupid clown never shuts up.
Having shanghai'd all his opponents to the front lines... /s
Zelensky agreed to hold elections in his negotiations with President Trump. Now Putin is in a panic and that’s why President Trump called out Putin today.
Putin pushed President Trump to force Ukraine to hold elections after the Easter ceasefire.
Zelensky agreed to hold elections after the ceasefire was in place.
Now Putin is in a panic.
And President Trump is angry at Putin for trying to back out of the deal.
But I knew that this was not going to be an easy sell for Trump, on either side of the field, because too much has been expended on the battlefield by both sides.
Walk away Trump. Let Europe take over.
Humor is lost on you. But no one ever said Zeepers are smart.
They were never meant to. If someone/something is being neglected the best way to get someone to want something is for someone else to say they want it. Basic human nature.
Canada has not taken care of their military and now that they might be “the 51st state” they suddenly realize they have to stop thinking the American taxpayer is going to take care of them.
The same with Greenland, the Danes haven’t spent a dime on infrastructure, development, they have basically ignored the people…..until Trump said we wanted them.
“Because within Ukraine I do not think the polls are in his favor.”
Are you in Ukraine?
Zelensky is now polling at 69% approval. That’s why Putin is in a hysterical panic now and backtracking on his deal with President Trump.

I’ll believe it when I see it...
ROFL!
