After suggesting the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine could force his country to postpone its regularly scheduled elections, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a vote might occur on schedule after all—if he can get enough financial help from the United States and its allies.
Ukraine is currently under a state of martial law, with that martial law period being extended in 90-day increments. Under Ukrainian law, elections and other forms of political activity cannot take place during a period of martial law. The Ukrainian parliament declared martial law after Russian forces invaded the country in February of 2022 and the governing body has continued to renew that martial law declaration every few months as the war rages on.
