Kellogg: Ukraine cannot conduct elections now
Bloomberg wrote that the elements of Trump's “peace plan” can be freezing the conflict, giving unregulated status to Ukraine areas occupied by Russians and security guarantees for Kiev. In addition, Trump suggested that he is demanding from Ukraine to secure US access to rare lands in exchange for further military assistance.
In an interview with Newsmax television, the president's envoy repeated his previous opinion that Ukraine should conduct elections, although he admitted that he could not do it now, because the Ukrainian constitution prohibits organizing elections during the war.
– But we'll get to the point where they will have to take the election. And this is a sign of healthy democracy. This does not mean that (president Wołodymyr) Zelnski He should leave – he added.
