This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Monday address that it is “not the right time for elections” in Ukraine as the end of his five-year term approaches.
He previously had not ruled out Ukraine holding a presidential contest next year, though elections are currently suspended in the country under martial law.
Presidential elections in Ukraine are scheduled to take place every five years, with the next one slated for next March.
Zelensky was sworn into office in May 2019, meaning that his five-year term is set to expire in a few months.
Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska said in September that she did not know whether her husband would run for reelection in 2024.
She also said at the time that the country’s ability to organize a free and fair election could factor into whether he would run for a second term.
