Zelenskyy Plans Post-Ceasefire Elections: A Controversial Move
President Zelenskyy plans to run for reelection as early as this summer, potentially as soon as July, following a ceasefire anticipated by April’s end. This decision, spurred by a recent shift in political calculations, involves preparations for an election after the lifting of martial law in May. While opponents like Poroshenko predict a later election date, a July vote could strategically benefit Zelenskyy by limiting opposition campaigning. However, a rushed election risks exacerbating tensions within Ukraine and presents potential vulnerabilities to Russian influence.
