When Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected president by a landslide he said he would only stand for a single term. During peacetime, the next election would be just months away.
When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected by a landslide in April 2019 he said he would only stand for a single term.
"Why? This was because the electoral code would need to be amended," he said in a television interview this week.The last time martial law was introduced was in November 2018 for 30 days amid increasing tensions with Russia. Mr Zelenskyy initially said he would only remain in office for one term, but he walked that back in May 2020, then again in 2021 restated he had not made up his mind.
He estimated in the same TV interview that during peacetime an election costs "5 billion hrynia", or $210.64 million. World Bank estimated in March that the cost of rebuilding Ukraine at around $US411 billion over the next decade.
