Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Monday evening that he believes the time is not right to hold elections in Ukraine.
Under normal circumstances, Ukraine would have been on track to hold presidential elections in March of 2024, but the country has been under martial law since Russian forces invaded in February of 2022. Under Ukrainian law, elections and other forms of political activity cannot take place during a period of martial law, and the Ukrainian parliament has continually extended its martial law declaration since the start of the war.
