Ukraine War: Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said he is ready for elections within 90 days if the U.S. and allies can ensure security.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated he is ready to hold elections within 60 to 90 days if the United States and European allies can guarantee the security necessary for the vote.
Zelenskyy’s comments came in response to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who suggested Ukraine was using the war as an excuse to avoid elections and questioned its democratic status. Zelenskyy has highlighted several conditions and requirements for a wartime election:
Security Guarantees: The primary condition is that the U.S. and partners provide robust security guarantees to ensure the safety of the polling process during ongoing Russian missile attacks.
Legislative Changes: Under Ukraine’s current law, elections cannot be held during martial law. Zelenskyy has asked members of Ukraine’s parliament (Verkhovna Rada) to draft the necessary legislative changes to the election law to make a vote possible.
Logistical Considerations: Previous arguments against wartime elections have included the challenge of voting for millions of citizens who are internally displaced or living abroad, as well as for soldiers at the front lines, and the inability to vote in Russian-occupied territories.
Zelenskyy’s five-year term expired in May 2024, but his presidency remains legitimate under the current martial law. Public opinion in Ukraine has generally opposed holding elections until after the war ends.

Winter’s grip is tightening around Metro Detroit and our furry friends are feeling the chill, too. Why it matters: Winter can be tougher on pets than many owners realize, Royal Oak veterinarian Lauren Zeid tells Axios Detroit. What they’re saying: “If it feels too cold for you to be outside with a coat on for a long period of time, it probably is too cold for the animals, too,” says Zeid of Burrwood Veterinary. Beyond that common-sense rule of…
