WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday he was open to holding an election in safe circumstances if the war with Russia comes to an end.

During a meeting with U.S. President Donald in the Oval Office, Zelenskiy said, “We need to work in parliament because during the war you can’t have elections,” adding that it needed to be possible for people to have a democratic, open, legal election.

Elections in Ukraine are currently suspended under martial law.
