Ukraine does not accept the idea of postponing the presidential elections, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

"The Ukrainian leadership is determined to hold the presidential elections on schedule, on May 25," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said at a press briefing in Kyiv.

"We do not accept any initiatives to put off the elections, set for May 25. The elections will be held as planned. All other initiatives are aimed exclusively at upsetting stability in Ukraine and continuing Russia's interference in Ukraine's internal affairs," he said.
