Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said he was willing to hold wartime elections within three months if the US and Kyiv's other allies would guarantee security of the vote.
It comes after Donald Trump suggested Ukraine's government was using the war as an excuse to avoid elections, despite them being forbidden under Ukrainian law . In an interview with Politico, the US president said: "You know, they talk about a democracy, but it gets to a point where it’s not a democracy anymore.”
