Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, responding to calls by a US senator this week to announce elections in 2024, said yesterday that voting could take place during wartime if partners shared the cost, legislators approved, and everyone got to the polls. Elections cannot currently be held in Ukraine under martial law, which is extended every 90 days and is next due to expire on 15th November.  

According to the Ukraine Constitution, parliamentary elections are held the last Sunday in October in the fifth year of authority of the parliament, ahead of the presidential polls, which would normally be held in March 2024.
