The United States, through its special envoy, is advocating for Ukraine to hold elections in the wake of a potential ceasefire with Russia. Reports indicate that the Trump administration believes elections should take place immediately after fighting subsides. Some officials, including Kellogg, suggest that democratic nations typically conduct elections during wartime, and there are proposals to hold votes by the end of the year. However, Ukrainian President Zelensky has reportedly rejected the idea of elections at this time, raising questions about the feasibility of the U.S. recommendations amid ongoing conflict.
