Zelensky wants early elections because he’s shortly going to be unable to win elections, it seems.
This is another sign that the war could be wrapping early. The US wants Zelensky to remain in power post-war for whatever scams they are planning on running in the aftermath of the war – basically sending in private firms to seize all of the former territory of the Ukraine’s remaining assets.
If he’s elected while still a “war hero,” he can stay in power for a couple of years while the US is doing their projects.
Now that we’ve got all of this talk of coronavirus, it does seem likely that we’re going to witness an end of the war and the dawn of a new phase of the global narrative.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, responding to calls by a US senator this week to announce elections in 2024, said on Sunday 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 must be extended every 90 days and is next due to expire on Nov. 15, after the normal date in October for parliamentary polls but before presidential elections which would normally be held in March 2024.
"If America wants our elections so badly, give us $5bn," said the Ukrainian president in a TV interview, begging for more dollars as usual.
Cancelling elections was "his own painful sacrifice" to save democracy, added Zelensky.
