Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country could be ready to hold its first election since Russia's invasion in 2022 as long as partners can give him security guarantees.

Zelenskyy, whose term was set to end in May 2024, said there are two main issues that have to be addressed before Ukraine can hold elections: security and the legislative framework. Zelenskyy said he has asked lawmakers from his party to work on legislative proposals to allow Ukraine to hold elections while the country remains under martial law, according to The Associated Press.

Excerpt of interview of Andrei Martyanov:

"Andre, let's get started with the situation in the Kursk region. We know that the Russians were asking civilians to leave the region. Yeah. What are we expecting from them to do in that region? Russian. Well, no, it it is already being done. If you throw away the trash which is perpetuated by the western and part of the Russian media although finally there was a push back against those uh you know uh people who let's put it this way hyping and making money on this obviously they will try to get out as many uh as as many civilians as possible uh as was expected the whatever Ukrainian force was there uh Abielino gives it between 11,600 to 11,900. It's all personnel. It's not just the fighter. There are medical uh people, people who drive trucks and logistics and all kinds of things like that. So, uh, yeah, they run as was expected into the first line of defense which was precisely about 11 kilometers in depth. So, they basically moved into their area which was not defended. So, and now they have been located, isolated and annihilated. And you can look it up. I mean, the internet is filled with those uh videos of annihilation of the well primarily NATO supplied equipment from Challenger tanks to strikers and Bradley. They're wrecking them. So, by today, from what I understand that 2600 has been uh killed and wounded. And this is just uh conservative uh estimate. So yeah, it's the whole thing now just to make sure that those what is called diversionary uh recom groups do not get into the which is you know very high probability of them trying to penetrate deeper into the territory because it's difficult to track them like it is with the serious military for formation. So, but this is already the issue for the FSB also and special units of ministry defense and even internal affairs to deal with this uh with those. The rest of them as you can see yourself even on the videos and um yeah they primarily try to hide in those forests you know um call them small forests you know they are kind of and yeah they've been uh detected tracked down and annihilated so yeah it's going to be the matter of few days now to finish them off"

Zelensky could find a cure for cancer, and some here would complain about the loss of work for doctors. Putin could spread cancer, and many here would marvel at his great work in reducing world hunger by reducing the number of mouths to feed.

So if NATO peacekeepers come into the country, he’s willing to hold an election in a country where he has all opposition parties, and where dissent is illegal? Mighty white of you.
