President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Ukrainians to remain united, days after a rift emerged between his office and the country's commander-in-chief as the war with Russia grinds on.
The Ukrainian leader, who also said it was not the right time for wartime elections in a speech late on Monday, entreated Ukrainians to strengthen the country and not to be drawn into dangerous infighting that could imperil the war effort.
Days later, Zelenskyy rejected the idea of any stalemate in the war, while his foreign affairs adviser said Zaluzhnyi's remarks about the war to The Economist had been "very strange" and could play into Russia's hands. Some Ukrainian sociologists say polls indicate a darker mood creeping into Ukrainian society, with surveys showing a majority of people do not trust the government or parliament.
He also told Ukrainians it was "not the time" to hold a presidential election, apparently ending weeks of speculation that Kyiv could try to find a way to hold the vote in March despite it being prohibited by martial law.
