Zelensky now ruling under martial law after suspending elections until after war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is now ruling under martial law after his official 5-year term expired yesterday. Had the war with Russia come to an end, elections would have been held, according to the BBC.
Zelensky had last year warned that elections would not be held until the war with Russia was over, however made statements in August that Ukraine would hold elections if the US and Europe funded them despite the country being under martial law. He then decided in November that it was “not the right time for elections.”
