The lack of elections in Ukraine has been cited as concerns by several Western figures as President Donald Trump is trying to bring peace to the region, but President Volodymur Zelensky argues that he must ban him to prevent him from taking office and returning to power.
Ukrainian President Zelensky held a courthouse at London's Stansted Airport on Sunday, the latest stop in a fierce shuttle diplomacy version, and in comments he called for a new election in his country to refresh democratic legitimacy.
It's pointless to call for a fresh election. Because he insisted that Volodymyr Zelensky was so popular in Ukraine that he would be re-elected again anyway.
Given his level of support, Zelensky said. Every translation Because to ensure the new president “it's not easy to replace me” offered at the meeting, we need to stop him from appearing in the vote.
Zelensky said: “It's not enough to simply hold an election. You need to make sure I don't run.” So, whether or not the election is taking place, the West will ultimately need to “negotiate with me.”
The Ukrainian government has previously taken that line when defending itself from accusations that will turn back to democracy, given its presidency and national elections for the parliament. In fact, Kyiv argues for its own research showing that Zelensky is still very popular with its high approval ratings at home.
As mentioned earlier, Ukraine is a country under martial law and considering that it criticizes the president as being able to invite, it is difficult to take these claims at face value. punishment, Millions of citizens are overseas As a refugee or as a political party living under Russian occupation and with anti-war or pro-Russian views It is prohibitedsome opposition politicians were even killed in assassinations targeted during the course of the war.
For example, there is a debate over why it is difficult to hold elections during the war. The UK, for example, quickly told President Trump's comments that it was supporting a decision to halt democracy during the war, but critics say it is completely possible if the Ukrainian government actually wants to try it. Elections under the arms of millions have been successfully carried out in the past by democracy, even large, qualified diaspora overseas.
Zelensky accused him of accusing the “other countries” of suggestion, whether they have been suspended or not, of “they” as “the US contexts. He continued. “To be honest, it appears that citizens of other countries are telling Ukrainians what kind of president these people should have, especially when these people occupy official posts, that seems a bit undemocratic and constructive, especially when they are occupying official posts. We're talking about values, but that definitely doesn't look democratic.”
