Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that the United States and European Union send more money or else they won’t hold elections next year.
Zelensky intends to not hold elections. “I’m sorry, I will not hold elections on credit, I will not take money from weapons and give it to elections either,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections if the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process. The cost is typically around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million).
However, with the ongoing with against Russia, it’s likely that Ukraine wants far more.
President Joe Biden has already sent tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine at taxpayers’ expense.
Zelensky said he discussed the issue with U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
“I told [Sen. Graham]: If the United States and Europe give us financial support… I’m sorry, I will not hold elections on credit, I will not take money from weapons and give it to elections either. But if you give me this financial support, if the parliamentarians realize that we need to do this, then let’s quickly change the legislation and, most importantly, let’s take risks together,” Zelensky said. “Observers should be in the trenches. I told him: observers must be sent to the frontline so that the elections are legitimate for us and for the whole world. And this is absolutely fair,” he added.
Zelensky was a comedian and actor who was elected in 2019 with over 73 percent of the vote. He promised to cut down on corruption and normalize relations with Russia. This never happened at the war broke out.
Zelensky acutally portrayed a fictitious president on the television before running for office. “We need help from Europe here, because Ukrainians today are mostly in the European Union. Polling stations must be opened there so that people can come. 7 million people have to vote. We do not have such infrastructural capacities – we need to provide appropriate opportunities there,” he said.
“How will the military be able to vote? Show me the infrastructure. No one has shown it yet. How will people abroad be able to vote? No one has shown me. There is a way out. I am ready for it. I am talking about this publicly now, I told [Graham]. I have no secrets.”
“We need an election in Ukraine next year. I want to see this country have a free and fair election even while it is under assault,” the president said.
• The cost of elections is typically around $135 million, but with the ongoing conflict with Russia, Ukraine likely wants more.
• Zelensky, a former comedian and actor, promised to fight corruption and improve relations with Russia but has faced challenges in doing so.

BFC- This Zelensky fella is such a SCAMMER! I'm so tired of him DRAINING our Treasure and whining for more and more! He needs to figure out his own elections and grow a pair and just get it done.
