Zelensky wants more millions from allies to hold wartime elections

Zelensky: US And EU Must Help If Ukraine Holds Wartime Elections

Lindsey Graham is pushing Zelesnky to have wartime elections?

Under current law, Ukrainian elections cannot occur under martial law. Since the invasion, Kyiv has extended martial law in 90-day increments. The latest extension expires on November 15.

Kyiv says it needs help to ensure voting access for millions of displaced persons, especially from the European Union. Ultimately, Zelensky said elections can occur if the legislature approves, Ukraine's allies share the cost and everyone has the ability to vote.

The invasion has displaced approximately 17 million Ukrainians. Most have fled to neighboring countries to the west.

Zelensky said, “I will not take money from weapons and give it to elections. And this is stipulated by the law.” So, forget about spending any of the approximate $60 billion we have already sent to him--he wants more!

Lindsey Graham is a useless drunk. I can't believe he keeps getting elected.
