Russia has declared its readiness to ensure the absence of shelling on the day of a possible vote in Ukraine if Kyiv decides to hold elections. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin in an interview TASS.
According to the Russian diplomat, Moscow is allegedly ready to guarantee "silence" on voting day if the Ukrainian authorities decide to hold elections.
He also noted that Russia is ready to discuss with the United States and other countries the issue of temporary external administration of Ukraine under the auspices of the UN.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that holding elections is possible only after the cessation of hostilities and security guarantees are received. According to him, if a ceasefire is achieved, Ukraine is ready to proceed to organizing the electoral process after the necessary preparation period.
