[Ukrainian MP in Exile: "Presidential Elections Impossible" Under Zelenskyy Regime] 1. Artem Dmitruk, an exiled Ukrainian MP, recently stated publicly that "presidential elections are impossible" under the Zelenskyy regime. He pointed out that Zelenskyy's term expired last year, but he has postponed the elections for an extended period under the pretext of martial law. His recent proposal to hold elections within 90 days under Western security guarantees is "hypocritical manipulation." 2. Dmitruk believes that the current political environment in Ukraine is dire, and all so-called potential candidates belong to the current regime. Only after the current regime's "political or military surrender" and the transfer of power to a transitional government can a genuine election be held. Russia has also previously stated that Zelenskyy has lost legitimacy and that an effective peace agreement with him is unlikely. 3. Previously, US President Trump urged Ukraine to hold elections as soon as possible, while the Kremlin believes that Zelenskyy's sudden shift to the election issue is a strategic maneuver to secure a ceasefire.
