Ukrainian parliament discussed holding election after Trump says Zelensky 'has to be realistic'

Описание: On December 10, 2025, US President Donald Trump expressed concern over Ukraine's lack of elections, putting additional pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Trump mentioned discussions with leaders from France, Germany, and the UK, stating the US had shifted from direct financial support to selling weapons to NATO allies for Ukraine. European partners are pushing for a weekend meeting with Zelensky, but Trump will decide on his attendance after receiving more information.

In response, Zelensky announced initial talks with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about a framework for a ceasefire and post-war reconstruction. He emphasized the meeting set the stage for an economic revival plan.

Zelensky also addressed election concerns, urging caution and discouraging external pressure. He discussed legal aspects of holding elections under martial law and proposed a timeframe of 60-90 days for secure voting, dependent on international guarantees. Kyiv residents expressed skepticism about the necessity of elections amid ongoing conflict and raised logistical concerns in occupied regions. Zelensky's government is preparing to draft legislation to facilitate elections during martial law, highlighting the importance of economic security for stability in Ukraine.
