Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday he does not believe it is the right time for elections as debate intensifies on holding a vote in 2024 while the country fights against Russia's invasion.
All elections including the presidential vote set to take place next spring are technically canceled under martial law that has been in effect since the conflict began last year.
The frontline between the warring sides has remained mostly static for almost a year despite a much-touted Ukrainian counter-offensive, with Russian forces entrenched in southern and eastern Ukraine. The United States and other supporters have publicly maintained they are ready to back Kyiv with military and financial aid for as long as it takes to defeat Russia.
Voting could be logistically difficult due to the large number of Ukrainians abroad and soldiers fighting on the front. Three more were injured in a Russian shelling attack on the southern city of Kherson on Monday, as Kyiv doubled down on its warnings that Russia was planning to pummel Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of the winter.
Also on Monday, a close adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, General Valery Zaluzhny, was killed when a grenade among his birthday gifts exploded, officials said.
