Trump believes it's time to hold elections in Ukraine
US President Donald Trump stated the need to hold presidential elections in Ukraine.
“They haven’t had an election in a long time,” the American leader said in an interview with Politico.
Asked whether Kyiv needed to organize elections, Trump replied: “Yes, I think it’s time.”
According to him, the people of Ukraine must have a choice. "And maybe Zelenskyy would win the election. I don't know who would win," he noted.
