    To get the answer to that question, we need to read the Ukrainian constitution, not listen to any administration’s diplomats.

    My limited understanding:

    • in a “situation of war”, elections are suspended
    • a ceasefire may be grounds for ending the situation of war
    • the situation of war is ended by a vote of the Rada (parliament)
    • quite obviously, that’s done if a ceasefire holds and Russia seems to have followed through with promises

    Speculation is a bit fruitless when no agreement has been reached, nothing has been done, and nobody knows if a hypothetical agreement would be respected or not.

    To the extent possible, we should not agree to this requirement.

    This is clearly done by Trump under the bidding of the Russians.
