#Ukraine may hold presidential elections after a ceasefire is established, The Economist reports.

According to the publication, last week, President Volodymyr #Zelensky held a meeting instructing his team to prepare for elections, which, according to Americans, could become possible after a full ceasefire.

It is noted that everything will become clear before or on May 5, when the parliament will vote on the extension of martial law, which is set to expire on May 8.

The lifting of martial law is the first necessary step to initiate the electoral process.

Some sources indicate that Zelensky aims to hold elections in the summer. The law requires at least 60 days for the election campaign, so the earliest possible date would be early July. However, some sources say that the campaign should last three months, as this is the time needed to rebuild voter lists under wartime conditions.
