Zelensky may announce election plans on 24 February
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is reportedly preparing to reveal plans for a presidential election and a nationwide referendum on the country’s war strategy.
The announcement could come on 24 February, the fourth anniversary of Russia’s 2022 invasion.
The referendum would give Ukrainians the choice between a negotiated peace settlement or continued military resistance.
The move comes as fighting continues in eastern and southern Ukraine and as international diplomatic pressure grows for a resolution.
