US Senator Lindsey Graham, who recently called on Ukraine to hold elections despite martial law, said that Western countries should provide financial support for these elections. He posted this information on his Twitter profile.
"I call on all of Ukraine's allies to provide financial and technical assistance to support this initiative," Graham said.
The senator also emphasized that holding democratic elections in the conditions of a military conflict would be perceived as a bold and significant step by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the entire Ukrainian people.
I am very pleased to hear that President @ZelenskyyUa has opened the door to elections in Ukraine in 2024. I cannot think of a better symbol for Ukraine than to hold free and fair elections during the course of a war. Elections would not only be seen as an act of defiance…

As we reported earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed the conditions for holding elections in Ukraine, responding to a statement by US Congressman Lindsey Graham about the need to organize elections in a time of war. In an interview with Natalia Moseychuk, Zelensky emphasized that holding elections in normal times requires significant financial support.
