Hey fam! Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just dropped a big one in an Axios interview: once the war with Russia wraps up, he’s ready to skip the next election! 🤯
“If we finish the war with the Russians, yes, I am ready not to go (for elections) because it's not my goal, elections.” Translation: peace > politics. ✌️
He’s grinding till the endgame, much like we hustle through exam season or launch a side hustle—head down, mission locked. 🎯
Remember, Ukraine’s 2024 vote is on hold under martial law since the 2022 invasion. Zelenskyy’s top priority? Seal that ceasefire and bring everyone home. 🏠
He plans to ask parliament to organize elections once guns go silent. Talk about putting your country first! 🇺🇦
In his U.S. trip this week (hello, UNGA and Trump meetup 👋), Zelenskyy whipped up support for long-range defense systems to keep Kyiv safe.
And for any Kremlin bigwigs still itching to fight—better know your nearest bomb shelter. A bold move, but maybe it’ll spark some serious peace talks. 💥🛡️
One thing’s clear: Zelenskyy’s eyes are on ending the war. Then, he’s ready to pass the baton. 🕊️
