Ukraine's Zelenskiy tells ABC he will organize elections if Russia agrees to 60-day ceasefire

He said elections could follow a 60-day ceasefire, and tied a halt to strikes on Russian refineries to an end to attacks on Ukraine's energy grid.

  • On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated Ukraine could hold elections if Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to a 60-day total ceasefire, countering President Donald Trump's recent calls for new leadership.
  • Trump said on Saturday that "it's time for Ukraine to get a new president," though Zelenskiy noted Ukraine's constitution prohibits elections under martial law.
  • "Please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organise elections," Zelenskiy told ABC's "This Week."
  • Zelenskiy linked the recent lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel to a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia that killed 20 people, including three children.
  • As Russia has not publicly responded to his ceasefire offer, Zelenskiy told ABC News that "it's up to Ukrainians" to determine their own leadership.
