Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year.
In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process.
The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.
Zelensky said that he discussed the topic of funding for the 2024 elections with U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been one of the staunchest supporters of sending more aid to Ukraine on Capitol Hill.

Entitlement Mentality.... like the folks living on the street in San Francisco.
Zelensky... what a gaping rectum!!
I eagerly await this POS’ death.
Grifting trash.
Why does it appear that all the “media” types are using the Babylon Bee to write their headlines?
Why not get Zuckerberg to pay for it, like the Blue States do, as that way, he can’t lose.
He is threatening to make himself a corrupt dictator for life unless we give him a whole lot of money and help him run a fraudulent election.
I cannot say I blame him.. The West owns/owes this guy.. why should he give up his way of life.. How else can he afford real estate in Egypt?
Um, yeah, buddy, ask how relevant elections were for Yanukovych.
so they will sell dominion electronic balloting to ukraine? under booths under blue helmet supervision? and USA pays for the potemkin charade? does not seem well thought out given that the war is bogged down and might be ongoing during their election season...
Not the Bee!
Guess we get to pay for the gala victory parties as well.
Give our tax money to the no party ruling czar for an election? Sounds like a corrupt commie nation to me, perfect for Xiden to protect our unipartier’s kickbacks and money laundering.
Not a problem. Send a bunch of white vans and boxes of empty ballots. The Democrats have plenty to spare...until 2024, when they’ll need them again.
I say leave him in power and let the families of dead Ukes throw him out and strip him of his ill gotten gains.
The King has Spoken!
Take it from the salaries of Congress, executive branch, Supreme Court, and the Democrat party coffers. Not one red cent from the American people. Thank you.
That could probably happen. No election in that craphole would be fair anyway.
So, all those that said he had no choice but to cancel elections and ban opposing political parties lied?? Really??
