Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky intends to announce plans for presidential elections and a referendum on the peace agreement on February 24, the fourth anniversary of the invasion.
The Financial Times reports this, citing Ukrainian and European officials involved in the planning and other sources familiar with the matter.
Ukraine reportedly began planning elections alongside a referendum on a possible peace deal with Russia after the Trump administration pressured Kiev to hold both votes by May 15 or risk losing the security guarantees offered by the US.
