The United States and other supporters have publicly maintained they are ready to back Kyiv with military and financial aid for as long as it takes to defeat Russia. Global attention has turned to the Middle East since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel  and Zelensky has come under increasing pressure. The president, who was elected in 2019, said in September that he was ready to hold national elections next year if necessary, and was in favour of allowing international observers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday he doesn’t believe it is the right time for elections as debate intensifies on holding a vote in 2024 while the country fights against Russia’s invasion. All elections including the presidential vote set to take place next spring are technically cancelled under martial law that has been in effect since the conflict began last year. Should Ukraine proceed and conduct elections ?
