Ukrainian adviser Dmitry Lithuin has criticized the US proposal to hold elections in Ukraine by the end of the year, calling it a "failed program" without additional means against Russia. He stated this in an interview with Reuters, commenting on the idea of Special White House Special Representative Nose Kellog.
In early February, Kellogh noted that Washington supports the election in Ukraine even in case of a ceasefire.
"In most of the democratic countries, voting is taking place during the war. It enhances the institutions. " However, Lithuanian stressed that Kiev has read only excerpts from the interview, so it is difficult to fully appreciate the US position. "If the program is limited to the ceasefire and elections, it is not enough. Putin will not be afraid of these two steps, "said the adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
