"Zelenskyy simply does not have the authority to end the war under Ukraine law.
Ukraine law forbids presidential elections during wartime!"
So. Zelensky doesn't have the authority to end the war (so why was he in DC?), but because there is a war, there can't be an election, therefore keeping in place the person who doesn't have the authority to end the war.
The Church Lady might say "that's convenient".

The statement that he is forbidden to hold elections in wartime, is 100% incorrect.
There is no such law.
Zelensky declared martial law on February 24, 2022, knowing Ukraine's constitution mandates that elections cannot go ahead until any declaration of martial law is lifted.
The duration of martial law and general mobilization in Ukraine has to be extended every 90 days.
Zelensky's regime has voted and he has signed a martial law extension 16 times already.
IOW, if he would let the martial law and general mobilization extension expire, elections could be held.
He is trying to avoid any elections, because he knows, he would be ousted by a large majority of voters!
He simply denies the Ukrainian people the elections they want and deserve.
